That kit just gives you longer lower control arms, you're gonna want longer upper arms too. The arms look nice though, Johnny joints at both ends, looks like it would flex well if you got some upper arms that have JJ's at both ends and are longer too.

Just graduated from HS and i will say owning a jeep was the best part! Keep on loving it even if some days it dont feel like it loves you back. It'll pay off in the end. Have fun with it

Yeah, fix that. Its probably not causing your problem just being pressed through, but its definitely not safe, and needs to be fixed. Replacing it with a larger one would be a good idea.

You need a drop pitman arm to bring your drag link down to be on a parallel plane with your track bar. You can need one at any height, it all depends on what your steering linkage is like.

Wait! Hold off on the drop pitman arm for now.

Take a full pic of the front end. I'll tell you if you actually need one or not. I misjudged the picture at first, I forgot the grag link goes all the way to the knuckle
