Default Torque steer issues

Anyone know how to fix some seriously bad torque steer? Steering wheel spins left on take off and abruptly spins left when I let off throttle. I have a rough country 6" long arm, coilover conversion, synergy high steer, and 37" tires.

Sounds like a toe issue, check that. It's unlikely it's related to torque steer because A) its a jeep there is no torque and B) its RWD or 4WD

Do you have a rear trackbar bracket? Post up some pictures of your steering set up and we can help you out.

What are the Caster and Toe specs?

That lift comes with a drop pitman and drop trackbar bracket? Are they installed? (or are you currently running 'only' the stock pitman and the synergy axle-side trackbar bracket and a flipped draglink?)

The kit comes with a rear frame-drop trackbar bracket? Have you considered replacing it with a raised axle bracket?
