tracking issues?
I'm starting to notice some instabilaty at high speeds (over 55mph) with my OME kit installed( 2door HD kit, 35" tires). I get some quick side-to-side movement from time to time when I'm going at highway speeds and the other night a strong gust of side wind put a serious shift on my Jeep while I was going about 60mph and caused some disconcerting wobble. Any suggestions? All I have on there right now is the shocks and springs that came with the HD kit. Should I replace the stock track bars, control arms, sway bar connect, etc.? Any other ideas of what I should be looking for underneath the vehicle?
Possibly unreleated, by just looking at the back of my Jeep, the right rear tire seems to be somewhat pointed in more than the left tire, and the right shock seems to be at a slightly greater angle than the left shock. Is this an optical illusion or am I noticing an alignment problem?

If it is a "darty" feeling you are having, I would say a front adj. trackbar and a rear frame mounted relocation bracket should fix it. PM baltchief, I think he had the same issue after the OME lift. He added those and now it tracks straight.
An incorrect toe setting can also cause an unsteadiness on the highway. Larger tires need more positive toe to attain the same position as stock tires on the road because of their added weight. If your alignment guy did not compensate for this, that could also be some of the cause.
