I'm looking for some ideas on how to fix a few things I'm having issues with first is the real top heavy feel of the jeep I have a 5.5 rk lift yes it's high but it almost drives like it has no sway bars on it but I does any ideas on how to fix it and the other is the steering is really jittery and seems to steer way to easy wondering of a way to damper it down

HD sway bar (i.e Full Traction) might help. However, like you said, it's a 5.5" lift so top heavy is kinda normal

What's your caster set to? Did u set your swaybar link lengths correctly? What size tires are u running? We need some more info. With that much lift u definitely want a front trackbar relocation bracket and a drag link flip to raise the roll center of the jeep. Did u buy a complete kit?

A stiffer sway bar will help if everything else is in check

Your profile says 3.5" lift -- what lift have you got ?

You may want to consider the Full Traction CRC.
I have the same wheel size & 4" lift, and it made my Jeep steer better than stock.

What is your caster, toe and camber settings? Which RK kit which would tell us what components you've upgraded? How much tire pressure and what tires? Really just need more info to accurately diagnose.
