Ok so i have a 96 with 4.5 inch lift. When i installed it i put a 3/4 inch drop pitman arm on and a adjustable trac bar. I never put a trac bar lower bracket on and was wondering if that would cause my bumpsteer, and wobble. The passanger tire is also wearing and the toe in seems to be good (8th inch in at front) any help would be apreciated

Did you get it aligned after the adjustments? Are your tie-rod ends in good shape? Are the track bar mounting locations not worn out, (holes elongated, bracket on the frame loose)? Control arms in good shape?

I have my pitman arm dropped 1" and have an adjustable track bar that is not dropped. From the little I've driven it so far I have no issues. But I also took it in for an alignment.

The drop pitman is likely causing the bumpsteer.
The 'wobble' needs more description, if you said 'wander' than I would suggest that the caster is below 5 degrees.
