did you get an alignment? also your going to want a new front track bar or re drill it. thats what i had to do to mine. I have a rear relocation bracket because with out it my rear axle was way over to the passanger side. and im working on getting new arms because the ride with stock arms is horrible. oh and i did a homemade 3.5 in front to rear swap

A SS is only going to hide the problem not fix it. He needs an alignment. I would take it to another tire shop and have them check it out. Never hurts to have a second opinion. More than likely all you need is a new trac bar. Personally I would get an adjustable one and be done with it.

I just went through the whole DW thing when I lifted mine 3.5". Had to wait for my IRO double sheer adjustable front tb so I drove it as little as possible. My TREs were toast also. Replaced those and the TB and got an alignment and all is smooth now.
