Extreme Play Problem
Please ANY HELP!!! 
I have a 1994Cherokee lifted on a T&T Long-arm 6in lift on 35s locked front + rear. It has the stock style (upgraded drop inreplacement) Steering set up. Overtime the play has increased by a large margin. The play used to be very minimalhowever more recently the play has gotten to the point where the vehicle withdrift from side to side on the road over 35mph and I will have to correct veryoften. I have had it up on jack stands and checked the play from the steeringwheel to the pitman arm and the play is minimal if any. I am going to sell myjeep if I cant get this fixed because it is just too dangerous to drive. Thanksfor the help I can clarify if you have questions.
This image is the only place I can find any play and its front to back not side to side.

You need to upgrade your steering at that height man. Your drag link is at a pretty decent angle there Im sure. We have an office in Yakima and Lynden WA and sell a nice crossover steering set up that will get your Jeep more then driveable again. We have had customers say they lifted Jeep drives better than stock.
Check out the steering here. http://froehlichsuspension.3dcartsto...e-XJ_p_11.html
You could save on shipping too because I make it into Olympia quite a bit, we could maybe meet up.
You should check out your track bar too, it is possible that that is loose and allowing your Jeep to drift as well. I could probably take a look at it with ya sometime next week if you would like.
Let me know if you have any questions,

Shoot me an email. That is the best way to get ahold of me right now. Froehlichsuspension@live.com
How soon are you wanting to pick up a kit and what all would you like to order? If she's going from Everson to Pullman then it would actually be better to pick up the kit in Yakima as that is currently where our shop and shipping department is.
Ill look for your email,
Kris Froehlich
