Loose steering on my Wrangler after lifting it

zebulonclutterbuck
I lifted my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL about two inches and put on bigger tires a few months ago, and ever since then the steering has felt really vague and wanders all over the road. I've gotten used to it but highway driving is honestly tiring, constantly correcting. I've already replaced the steering stabilizer and checked the tire pressure, no change. A few people on forums mentioned the ball joints or the track bar could be the issue, especially with bigger tires. I need to find a shop that actually understands lifted Jeeps and can check things like caster angle and the drag link adjustment. I've been looking for Certified Steering Repair Mussafah specialists who have experience with JL steering issues and won't just tell me to "live with it." Has anyone with a lifted JK or JL fixed wandering by adjusting the gearbox or replacing the lower control arms to correct caster? Also wondering if a worn steering box could cause this even on a relatively new car. I'm in Abu Dhabi but Mussafah is fine for me. Really want to get this sorted before I do any long road trips. Any advice on what to check first or which shop actually knows Jeeps would be great. Thanks.
