I keep looking..... Checkers tested the battery and said it was gone.... that it will not hold a charge or something like that..... anyway now i have to keep doing what I was doing.... lol just for the sake of learning something so I will continue following wiring diagrams and stuff...

Here's a break down of it. The drag link and tie rod are the ones you want to run as parallel as possible! If its not then you want a extreme drop pitman arm to lower the drag link!

Nate needs one BAD as you can see...

not yet I am pretty sure that wiring is messed up so I don;t want to spend money on a battery and ruin it right away..... will see this week end 
By the way, you guys make me dream hehe I never thought I would be interested in such modifications for a vehicle, but the more I read, the more I am tempted..... fortunately money is a very limiting factor (and added with wife's veto....) lol but little by little I guess one day i will be able to have fun too

Process of elimination. Problem did not occur prior to new lift, this leads me to believe you can rule out bushings (other than track bar, which is new), tie rod ends, ball joints and gear box. This leaves what was changed, longer 3" springs and track bar I believe you said you installed an adjustable one but I'm not 100% sure. If the track bar is parallel to the drag link I would most likely rule that out as well. I'm thinking with a 2" budget lift with 3" springs added on with the stock LCA's is causing your problem. Thats my .02.
