Default AEV Lift Help!!!

I have a problem after installing the 4.5" lift with it drifting or swerving. I have loosened and retightened all of the bolts under the Jeep, ran higher air pressure, lower air pressure and had the front end aligned. Any suggestions of what I should check from here? The jeep has 29000 miles on it.

Was reading up on aev lifts on there website. Could have swore they wrote that if you add a pitman arm that is not part of there package it will not be conducive to the tune of their lifts. You may have luck checking there website or give them a call for some assistance if you believe it is the lift.

Think we have it figured out. I replaced the ball joints when I installed the lift which is causing the steering issues. The ball joints are tight and need to wear in and the steering should loosen.
