So have the RC 6.5" short arm lift and put 1 3/4 spacers on it and had some steering issues so i took it to get aligned and find out from them that i need a new steering box, steering stabilizer, uca bushings, and tre for the adj trac bar. So i get it all replaced and get it aligned and they tell me that when they tested it that the axle felt as though it was moving under the car so i drive it out and i dont feel a difference besides my car pulls hard to the left and the wheel is already crooked. What else can be causing this? Steering linkage?

Let me get this straight. You said you have a 6.5" lift with short LCA's, AND put a 1.75" spacer on you jeep? If this is correct you would now have 8 1/4" front lift with short arms. Is this right? If so that is your problem! get rid of the spacers or go get a long arm kit. the angles of your LCA's are no good with that much lift. Your handling with be super crappy. I am suprised that you even got everything to bolt back up like that.

well i have plans to a long arm but that i called RC and they said that it should be fine and with an alignment it should fix my problem. Personally i think it drives fine but the alignment shop said that the axle wanders
