Go to each front wheel well and check the width between the shock to the inside of the fender. Make sure you hit the same spot on each side. If the amount is equal then it's probably your stops. If they are different then it is your track bar not centering your front axle like it should because of the lift, hence causing the steering to be more on one side.
ok this sounds like a good idea, i will do this and see what entitles.
thanks so much!

That will mount to the stock bracket yes, but if your spending the money why not spend the extra 50 bucks or so and get the double sheer and new bracket...

I understand..but why not just take the extra 50 dollar hit rather than having a ****ty joint blow out a few months down the road. Well worth the money!

alright, do they make longer drag links for the 4.5" lifts? and yea im gunna do what was said above to see what happens first.
Edit: does the draglink even have to do with how sharp the vehicle steers? im young and just learning with all this type of stuff, your help is very much appritiated man, thanks.
