Default Lift question please help

I installed the a 3.25in lift on my 2 door which raised it about 4ins. After putting on the front track bar relocation bracket my steering feel kinda strange. If I am stopped and I turn my wheels to the right the front end of the jeep raises up about 2ins and if I turn them left in drops about 2ins. What could be the problem or is this normal while sitting still???? I have a wheeling trip Saturday and nees this fixed if its wrong.

Don't know exactly what it is, but your probably correct in narrowing it to the relocation bracket. We have an 07 2-dr with an OME lift that raised it about 4". I used a Full Traction adjustable TRAC bar and don't experience that characteristic. Probably nothing wrong; just the way it reacts to the relocation bracket.

Just an update so if anyone else has this problem the can fix it. It was the front track bar bracket I put on. It totaly messed my stuff up. Swapped it out for a adj front track bar and all is good now.
