Sway going down road
Ok guys I just put a 4.5 short arm lift with 31/10.5/15 and it has been aligned. the jeep sways a little some when I hit a groove or dip in the road. IS THIS NORMAL? sway bar is hooked up. Also I had the alignment done yesterday and the wheel is not exact. on smooth road it goes strait can I adjust the drag link or will that screw up the alignment ?

Sounds like your typical symptoms of a cheap 4.5" short arm lift. You probably have factory steering and no adjustable control arms or track bar?
