Hello all, I have a 2006 rubicon
Current mods are
2.5 in RC LIFT
AEM cold air intake with tb spacer (previous owner installed)
Front core 4x4 tier 3 adjustable control arms
Rear core 4x4 tier 4 adjustable control arms
metalcloak front and rear adjustable track bars
B&M cable t case shifter

The issue I’m having is: when I start the Jeep usually all the time the starter turns over the engine and I feel the cab torque to the left.

I’m not sure what could be causing this as I have replaced the motor mounts with old new stock mopar motor mounts and the transmission mount is also brand new mopar. I have also in attempt to fix this cleaned all electrical connections from the battery to the alternator to the starter. Does any one have any suggestions or have experienced this too?
 
I would have someone else start it while you looked for the culprit!!! Remember when looking for something like this 4 eyes are better than 2!!!
 
It doesn't take long for rc shocks to completely fail. Might unbolt one end of each and check for proper resistance in the travel.

I definitely wouldn't be looking at electrical connections if the body is torquing over during startup
