What do you mean by sways? I can tell you that with that much lift and those small narrow tires, it definitely won't feel very stable off road..

Widening your track and footprint will make it feel more stable.

Surely you've already checked that the sway bars are the correct length front and rear?

Running a 4" lift on tiny tires and a narrow track width wont ride that great offroad, especially if you disconnect your sway bar up front and air down at all.

I'm guessing it's most likely a result of those reasons more so than the kit or any real problems.

A buddy of mine ran that kit and noticed the same thing. You get what you pay for and that's the cheapest 4 inch lift on the market
