Currie track bar and future lift

Some more updates.

Alignment and toe-in is fine. It doesn't look like it has a drop pitman arm installed. Below are some pictures just in case someone wants to cross-check.

It does feel like the new steering stabilizer is causing it. The pulls seems to have decreased in the third day of driving. One of the comments in the thread below mentions that the new gas charged stabilizers have tendency to pull (or push). One option here will be to remove the stabilizer and drive around to see if there is any pull. A bit hesitant to do this just yet.

It will be helpful if someone knew about the 'feel' after ARB OME SD40 installs.

@jodomcfrodo You suggested to get new tires asap, is that just for the looks or did you notice something not good? I plan to get new 33s by end of the year. I need to get a new front bumper before that. Thinking about getting a Stinger.

Thank you so much, y'all!

Get a basic hydro stabilizer like the Rancho 5407 and swap it on. I suspect all your problems will go away. I've seen way to many issues with the gas charged stabilizers to ever run one and I've removed several of the high dollar Fox versions and swapped the Rancho on with perfect success.

I just meant for looks and off road capability. Nothing wrong with the tires.

That looks exactly like the underside of my jeep. I don't see anything that would cause random pulls.
 
So, today my mechanic found out the root of the issue.

The drag link on the steering is bent, prior to lift at stock height it didn't affect anything. But with the lift kit on, it gets into the steering stabilizer / hardware and 'catches' creating the issue.

Any recommendation for drag link replacement? Is stock fine or should I go with Currie?
 
The stock drag link is typically ok for up to 33's. Currie's kit, which includes a tie-rod and drag link, would be an awesome upgrade and is highly recommended if you have the $$$ but if money is tight, I'd just go for an OE replacement drag link.
