Default Teraflex 2.5 Alignment question

I put the teraflex 2.5 lift kit with shocks and springs on this last week. Then I had mavis tire do an aligment. I drove it and it drives great however today when I was rotating my tires I noticed that the front lower control arms are set at dramatically different lengths. The drivers side is complelty tightened and the passenger is rotated out about 5 spins. Is this ok? When I called and asked they said it was to correct for the fact that the jeep was pulling to the right.

What should I do?

Thanks,

Dan

They claim they centered the axle and set the arms for 5 degrees of castor. The drivers side front lower arm is 22-3/4” and the other is about 24".

Did they give you a before and after printout? If the alignment IS correct now, I wouldn't worry about where the arms are. Whose to say that the control arm brackets were welded on right at the factory? The control arms can make up that difference. Does it pull? Does it wander? I think you said it drives great, right? I'd leave well enough alone.
