I only asked you if your jeep was lifted so I'd know if we were dealing with worn stock componants that could be causing your problems and not all the additional alignment problems that can be caused by an improperly installed or adjusted lift. So for your situation it's a good thing that you're not lifted yet.

so my mechanic checked all the steering parts(and would've failed me if they were bad) my brakes aren't grabbing, and i had an alignment done a year or so ago and haven't replaced any steering parts causing a bad alignment again what else could it be? i haven't done anything to bend something to put it out of alignment either. is their something else it could be? am i missing something? should i just quit worrying and write it off as a jeep thing?

A draging brake might not fail an inspection because they could both have the same braking power when tested.
To be fair I couldnt feel mine draging when it started to, I only noticed it because it started to smoke real bad and when I had a look under the rotor was bright red and had sparks falling off it.

Its worse when the pads and rotor are only a week old and youd put another caliper on there cause the origanal one was completly siezed
