P.S. for the newbs: stupid questions don't exist, there are only stupid answers. Feel free to ask whatever you want. "What is a Jeep?" is a good question....
EDIT: If your question is very common (eg: lift) please DO A RESEARCH FIRST and if you don't find the answer come back here, 75% of the questions can be answered within a 5/10 min browse using the "SEARCH" button on the black banner menu.

i didnt think that this was a lift & tire question so im here: where do i measure to find out if my axle is centered with my IRO double sheer adjustable?
also, i just lifted and got an alignment at mr tire; they told me my steering stabilizer was worn out and it was why my steering wheel wasnt perfect...understandable after 16 years. would a new stabilizer fix my "loose steering"?

Negative, steering stabilizer will help reduce bumpsteer and in some cases lessen death wobble. Loose steering is caused by worn components like tie rod ends, loose bolts, or a worn steering box.
