Default Unstable Steering/Suspension

I just got my 88 Cherokee back together and on the road and I noticed that the steering feels loose dispite checking it for loose components and the cherokee like to rock a little side to side going straight down the road. I'm not sure if the caster is off or what to start with. Here's a little info on my 88 XJ , 4x4 3' lift, stock track bar, JKS Adjustable sway bar links, Artec Front axle Truss with jonny joints, Rubicon upper and lower control arms, uppers are adjustable, Usa Alloy balljoints, New Duralast Wheel bearings, New Rough Country shocks, new motor mounts and BA 10/5 Tranny mount, the rear sway bar is not hooked up because I could not find extended links anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

The first step would be an alignment check and go from there.

I put my money on to much caster or not enough toe. If thats not it really look hard at track bar bushings.
