It’s a 35 inch tire. I didn’t really need the 6 inch kit I just had one from a previous friends build brand new that he didn’t use. If I have to I’ll drop down to 3.5 or 4 inch lift I just really like the way it looks with this kit in it. If I could just get it to drive right it would be great. Meaning the darting left and right issue. I had it on the highway last night goin 65 and it was a little scary but around town it’s not crazy bad till bout 45 mph.. I just want to be able to buzz a few exits down the highway for work when I’m running late in the am and it scares me a little bit. Thanks for the input
 
I used to have this same problem. Good suspension, outboard shocks, and PSC hydro-assist fixed it for me entirely.
 
What size tire are you running that requires a 6 inch lift?
 
It would help if you post a picture of your steering setup. This will enable folks to look at the basic geometry, then go from there.
 
This was before I put the Currie steering on but it’s doin the same thing with the Currie and all the angles are identical with the Currie system. I’ll post a pic tonight with the currectlinc I have on it now. But it looks the same as this. But bigger more durable .. thanks

@Chris if you move this to the General Discussion, there would be more eyes on it!
 
It looks like you have both a drop pitman arm and a drop trackbar bracket, but they’re not parallel. This is known to cause steering issues - measure them and find out, but I’d bet if you return both to stock you’ll be in better shape.

Thanks I’ll look into that. I appreciate the help

I’m at 25 now and no change.

You need more caster for better tracking, and check all your control arm bushings, , sway bar links and front unit bearings-if a lifted TJ is driving bad, It is often because too much has been changed and the consequences of the changed haven’t been addressed.
