Please help troubleshoot odd handling after lift.
I’m looking for some help troubleshooting some odd handling after my lift install.
The lift is a MC Duroflex with MC rear adjustable Trackbar and I’m using the MC rear Trackbar relo bracket. I have NOT done a D-Link Flip but I do have a front MC adjustable tracbar.
It has been aligned and everything is great with exception the front axle is pushed ¼” to the passenger side. (I had to do this to keep my shock from hitting the frame at full droop until I move my shocks outbound.) The rear axle is centered. This issue happened after the lift, both before and after I swapped the stock tires for 37s. I’ve double and triple checked everything for tightness.
The problem I am having seems to be out of the rear. The Jeep handles bumps fine but when the rode is off camber or worse goes from a left tilt to a right tilt I get some odd pushing/bumping out of the rear. It also seems to happen when the body rolls on low speed bends. It’s almost like something is quickly pushing the butt of the Jeep over, just a pop and then it’s over until the weight goes the other way where it happens again.
Ideas?

If I read that right, the rear trackbar is currently raised, but the front is not?
Some folks around here indicate that you want both front and rear at the same height/angle. Though some lift mfg's indicate that it is ok to have the rear raised with the front stock. I suppose you could test it by removing the rear bracket. (or going ahead and flipping the front.)
