Rough Country 4" Lift
Ordered my kit today. I am gonna give it a try with the adjustable trackbar and no drop pitman. If I don't like the way it rides I am gonna put it on. No worries either way. Hopefully my lower control arms and trackbars will ship soon. I ordered them Wednesday..
Looks good Dr.McNinja. I got same color as you. What kinda tires are you running?

To anyone out there.
So I have my wheel centered (at least enough that the ESP doesn't light up around corners, etc, I didn't use lasers to align the thing).
Now if I hold the wheel in the middle, it goes straight. But if I let go, it drifts to the right (Jeep, wheel, everything). It did this a little before the lift as well. Granted, I would rather it drift right than left, but is there anything I need to be checking?

Ninja: Did you do anything to lower control arms? Do you have the adjustable arms installed yet. That might be the problem.. I don't think your suppose to use an adjustable trackbar with a drop pitman. The bracket takes care of keeping the factory trackbar and draglink parrallel. I might be wrong though. I talked to Ben yesterday and he said it should work to use an adjustable trackbar to recenter the front.
Adjustable arms aren't here yet. The axle is pretty centered, since I have the trackbar bracket on there. However, my bracket certainly isn't 4 inches lower than the stock one, but the pitman arm is pretty close in drop to it. The adjustable length should keep it parallel, but shorter so you shift the axle back over, AFAIK.
I haven't adjusted the toe in any, but I didn't change tires, so I didn't think I needed to just yet. It shouldn't have changed any. Maybe I just notice it more with the camber being off.
