Even though I am not overly experienced I will throw my in here. I bought my JK with a 3.25" lift and it seemed kinda flighty. I have since installed the JKS fixed length control arms which are slightly longer than stock to regain some castor. Worked real good, after alignment my castor is pretty much centered in the spec and the jeep drives nice and straight.

I am not sure if this will work for you but you could at lest look into it. I think I spent about $200 for the set of lowers. They don't have a fancy end joint just a stock type rubber bushing but it gets the job done.

FWIW...I also replaced the metric bolts with 9/16" bolts.

I'm running EVO front lowers and a full set of Metalcloak on the rear. I had an unfortunate incident that led me to replace the stock rear arms.

Good, no other word came up at the moment. It is used frequently in french and I knew I could also use it in english.
