Just got done installing a 2 inch lift on my daily 2001 xj. I installed spacers up front with 2015 wrangler shocks. Now when I drive down the road the steering wheel pulls to the left and on other times it drives straight like an arrow. I'm using the stock stock sway bar links. Do I have to replace the steering stabilizer for a longer one? I heard that could be an issues.

Have you done a front end alignment? You can do it in the driveway with a tape measure.
A properly set up front end doesn't even need a steering stabilizer.

I check my tires the other day and I had a screw I in one o the tires. Had low air pressure. That fixed the issue. But now after driving in the free way for the first time after lifting it I got a really bad death warble after 55mph. Hopefully an alignment fixes the issue
The first place you go after a lift is a alignment shop,The alignment might fix the death wobble or it could have been there before and lift made it show its ugly head faster.

. Lets see. There we go. My phone auto caps the first letter. Needs to stay lowercase popcorn. What a pain.
