Default 97 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) Rubicon Express lift

I have this 97 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) with a 6" Rubicon Express lift and it has very bad road manors??? Need some help to get it drivable??? I need to get this jeep safe and road worthy so I can sell it and not worry about someone getting in an accedent in it! Any help would be awesome!!!

please tell me you arent running a 6" short arm lift. if so, thats why. also, your toe and caster is prolly all out of spec

what do you need a 6" lift for anyways?

I just got the jeep and its my first?? Super cheep with a toast motor. Im a ford guy. I think the lift is either a 6" or 4.5??? SHORT ARM!! Id bet its a 4.5 cause the 33s on it are to big in my opinion??? Just need to get this thing somewhat drivable?? It wanders really bad, to the point that it feels like its gonna start jerking back and forth out of control??? Im guessing an alignment would go along way?? Also have a nasty vibration out of the front end?? The pinion from the front axle has some excessive movement and I was thinking I would replace the crush sleve???
