Hey
Well here are the answers to your questions:
I had that done at brakes plus, so unless they screwed up it should be straight. Certainly the wheel is straight when im driving straight. Having said that I do have the AEV Procal which i used to reset the speedo.
Yup everything including the cambolts
Yup package says 2 door.
On 35 MTRs the PSI is 40 on each tire.
100% brand new
Nope, all new tires.
Yup here they are (personally, i know nothing about this stuff!)

Well here are the answers to your questions:
The problem is usually from a steering wheel that is not straight/centered.
Sometimes, incomplete lifts can also trigger it.
Did you install all the components with the RE kit, including the cambolts?

Are you sure you got the 2 door lift instead of the 4 door lift?
Sometimes, it can be a tire issue.
What is your tire psi?
What is your tire psi?
Are all the tires new?
Have you rotated in a spare with significantly fewer miles than the others?
Do you have the specs from the alignment?

Will do that today!
I am not finding the steering much different just slightly. Having said that, overall I dont feel a major difference in the drive from my stock rubi.
Ill lower the pressures to 28 now and do a test drive.

Ok dropped the tire pressure and went for a long test drive.
I noticed that the steering wheel was not straight as i thought it was post alignment. It may well be that the wheel isnt straight as I was told from the shop.
Ill watch it the next day or two and then redo the wheel.
