How can i check my caster and tie in and all that?

Yes zinger my steering has been real flighty. Ill only get new wheels if the rebalance works. I just sold my stock rims and tires. I regret it now. Could have made it easy to test.

I basically have a full TF 2.5 except the front coils are skyjacker. Theres .5 spacers on front and back. No lower control arms.

I bought a 14 tool from HF that measures toe. Toe is just the difference between outer edge to outer edge on the front of your front tires and the outer edge to outer edge on the rear side of your front tires. Does that make sense?

Is that the question you were asking?

Get the toe checked you don't need new wheels unless you destroyed a wheel out in the rocks, there's no need for that or new tires. Go over every nut and bolt to spec, then go over every other part measure the tie rod make sure it's not bent, same deal with the drag link. The problem could be very subtle, since the front ends are a fidgety bitch on the JK's. Don't throw money at it until you've gone over everything.

We can always swap rims and tires and take it for a spin before buying new tires...
