Just installed lift and have problems
I got done installing a rc 4.5 lift today. I left the shop for a test drive and I hit 30mph and the wheel ripped out of my hand. The front tires were barking like crazy. I got out of the jeep and found that the adjustable trac bar was loose on the axle end, I ran it tight as my half inch impact would go and it's still loose. Any input would be helpfull

go get an alignment or do it yourself. if they are barking that means the alignment is way out of wack. had it happen to me. now if the tires are shaking then that would be death wobble.

Just got back from the alignment shop and I still have death wobble. I called rough country and was told that the kit dose not need a drop pitman arm at 4.5 cause the adjustable trac bar is designed to work with oe pitman arm and adjustable control arms. I will post my alignment numbers and get some input from you guys.

how are your ball joints, tie rods, upper control arm bushings? any play in the sector shaft on steering box? steering shaft? all other causes of death wobble as well

Yeah? If the track bar isn't tight then that's going to be a problem.. You're gonna want to go get a new bolt. Or maybe the little piece of metal broke off that allows you to tighten it without holding the other side tight.. You just need to find a way to tighten it
