Your not gonna find a kit with a track bar, & pitman arm thats really all you need to help your steering! As for ur flex, get some max flex shots So we can see you flex or lack there of!!!

Haha, yea I should have her running by this weekend (had a little engine trouble but no biggie) Ill take a few shots from at least and loading dock. Someone did point out that its pretty darn tall for stock control arms. And I have been wanting to replace them old shocks, maybe a bit of a drop in height is in order along with a pitman arm? I dunno im way new my head is spinning here haha!

Did you ever measure how much lift you have on it??? 17" from center of wheel to fender flare is stock, so if your measures 23" you would have a 6" lift!?!?

probably f150 or dodge lift coils. that must ride terribly. haha i had zj v8 coils and my back hurt, i feel bad for you. talk about a trail lift haha. you need to either come down some and do the lift right, or fix this guys mistakes and buy the right steering setups and adjust your pinion angles/get an sye and whatnot....

Upon further inspection I do indeed have hockey pucks stuck up under the front coils. I imagine taking out these worthless spacers on an already high lift would help me out a bit? They look to be about 2 inches.

Maybe the shocks in the back are still stock and too short to allow much droop.
