Steering Issue
Jake342, Weird you just posted this. I have a similar build with a similar issue and took it in for an alignment yesterday...they too didn't align the steering and is still pulling to the right. I have the AEV 4.5" lift with 37" Toyos. They said my RF camber is -1.5 deg and were trying to sell me an adjustable ball joint installed at $528. I politely bit my tongue and walked away to never return. They "fixed" the toe in, but Jeep still pulls right. I'm thinking I'm going to just swap the front tires and see if that helps at all. I've heard that sometimes fixes a pull, but don't see how as they're rotated every 5K. I'm thinking the best bet is adjustable control arms, but will attempt to fix the steering myself as noted above.
Yup I thinking I will be adjusting my steering to center today! Thanks for the advice from everyone. And control arms will be ordered right after the shocks! Also I will be taking off my steering stabilizer (rough country dual) and seeing if that has anything to do with it because all it does is look pretty anyways.
I could either be wrong or right in this scenario. I keep hearing of vehicles "pulling to the right after lift". Although I didn't have any issues after I lifted my jeep, I did notice a pull to the right when I installed my bilstein steering stabilizer. And I know it waz my stabilizer cause I had the old one in the garage and swapped it back on to reassure myself that was the culprit. So, I always wanna chime in to see if you guys are running an aftermarket SS? Maybe that is the issue?
There is also a writeup on project jk on how to align the jk with factory control arms. You can do it with a tape measure and a friend in under half in hour. Really, the only things that should need adjusted are the draglink and the toe settings or if you have adj track bars, those are also fairly simple.
That very well could be the issue of the pull to the right. Did you recenter your steering wheel? Its super simple. If not, your trac control and abs lights may turn on and stay on until the steering wheel is corrected. Or worse yet, the trac assist might kick in unexpectedly while driving which is scary and dangerous

My steering wheel was off center a couple ticks to the passenger side and by the time I drove 15 miles, both abs and trac lights popped on. Then I corrected the steering and they shut off just down the road..
