Stock sway bars or aftermarket? Most aftermarket are softer and you're better off with stock.

Short arms and 7 inches of lift will cause the suspension geometry to be all out of wack. I bet the castor is way too negative, now it drives like a shopping cart with a bad wheel.

Have you checked the balance of the tires.

Check the castor, make sure there is no slop in the steering linkage. A steering box brace may help tighten up the steering by reducing the amount of flex in the unibody. Did your kit come with a track bar or is it stock?
