[QUOTE="Vman, post: 447101, member: 22091"] Sounds like you need some adjustable control arms (and track bars), which will correct caster or at least improve it depending on how high your lift is. The spring is going to curve because your lift will make the axle move back and to the driver side relative to the body of the Jeep. The drive shaft tries to keep a straight line to the front pumpkin, which also rolls the axle forward thus losing your caster and causing a bunch of issues. This is why so many lifts go wrong when you go over 3". The adjustable control arms and track bars are mandatory past that point imho. [/QUOTE]
