Default Lifted JK's

Is it just me, but most of the JK's I see lifted looks like the rear tire is pushed forward and not really centered in the wheel well. It get pushed closer to the unfinished knife edge in the wheel well. I know it will probable never touch because of the geometry of the suspension but will adjustable control arms help center it? or will a long arm kit solve this.

adjustable arms will center the axle

Keep in mind that the rear tires swing backward a little when the suspension compresses. They need to be slightly off center to prevent the tire from rubbing the back of the wheel well when fully compressed. It may look a little off, but the tire location under compression is more important.
