    Hey there fellow keepers. I have a 1994 yj. 2.5 liter. My first Jeep. Bought a two inch lift and got four inches. I relocated the trac bars front and rear. Installed quick release sway bar. Dual stabilizing shocks. New shocks. I have a little bit of wandering when driving. Do I need a dropped pitman arm. Here is a picture of the trac bar and all the goodies on the front end.
    And there’s a little play in the steering box. Tightening that tomorrow.

    @tigjim6473 . Based on your photos. You could possibly have your duel stablizer mounted in the wrong place. Which is probably your wandering issue. It should be mounted to the tie rod. And axle. I did a quick search. And i cant find a stablizer kit identical to the one you have installed. Can you post up a link to the kit you have installed. Just curious. My JK stablizer mount is totally different.

    It’s the rough country dual stabilizer. I rewatched the install video from ExtremeTerrain and that’s where they said to put it. The angel of the drag bar isn’t parrell so that’s why I was trying to see if I needed the dropped arm. I’m just not famialer with suspension angels. It’s going to the alignment shop on Saturday.

    Thank you
