That's a nice set up dude!
Sorry about the crack, where is that exactly? Maybe time for some front and mid unibody stiffeners.
Replacing the lca bolts with 9/16ths helps! They are a nice snug fit.
I hope the uca bushings fix it for you, reminds me that I gotta do mine lol

Well I might have just solved it, not completely but mostly. I was underneath it last night grinding away the frame to weld the crack and I took a peak at my LCAs. About a week ago I rebuilt them since they're rough countries, cleaned them, greased and retightened. Well they never sent a a big washer which I never noticed so when I tightened the bushings down the actual bushing would get pushed out of control arm.
It gave me about 1/4 of movement side to side that I could do just by my hand. Went to home depot and bought two giant washers and rebuilt them again. She still starts to shake for just a second but then corrects itself. I also adjusted my caster forward so I'm probably at about 6 degrees now. It's not perfect as I believe my UCA bushings are hurting me but it hasn't shaken yet!
Thanks everyone for your help, always appreciate it.
