About 2 inches ill look and see but I don't think so
Did you also replace the bushings and shackle when you replaced the springs?

No I sure didn't and I don't have a steering damper on either I didn't think it need it
Tighten your shackle bolts. When I went with poly bushings I had a death shake and torqueing down bolts solved it. I can now drive @ 55 w/ no hands. Wheel bearing?

Going to try a new steering stabilizer from the one that's stock looking for a 1984 old man emu stablizer anyone know the best place can't seem to locate it online
did you notice any wobble before the lift? did you mess with the hubs while doing the lift? sounds like it could be loos wheel bearings to me, because it goes away when you hit the brakes. ran int this before with a truck that had bad wheel bearings. jack up the front and grab the tire and see if you can shake it. do both sides.

No I didn't have a wobble before the lift I pretty sure it has something to with the lift just trying to narrow it down
Also check the toe-in. You can check it with a tape measure and a sharpie.
You can check the caster angle with an angle finder and a level spot to park.
In other words, you don't really need to take it to an alignment shop.
