steering issue after 3 in lift installed

so i have lifted my 95 XJ 4in in the back and 3in the front so far.

I still have stock control arms and installed an adjustable track bar.

now my steering is all messed up. besides feeling alot looser then it did before the jeep now veirs to the right.

I know my tie-rod ends are not in the best of shape. but steering seemed ok before the lift.

what causes this?

did you do an alignment? lifting the jeep raises the pitman arm (and the top mount of the drag link), on an stock setup, this decreases the toe.

an alignment will fix that

Get or do an alignment and then get back to us.

Personally I prefer stu's way of aligning the jeep. Drawing a line makes for a very accurate measurement in toe. I do it this way and I had the jeep in the shop for alignment a few months back but they didnt need to do anything. It was all in green and perfect.
