Brought jeep to a good jeep guy to install Bds lift he said get control arms.

Got all four sets and installed myself and brought jeep to a local shop to have final adjustments made, proper torque and an alignment this is what I get back.

Given the Parts installed I don’t know how they think we would not notice this.. not even saying anything the pics should explain it all.

I'm confused. You installed all the parts yourself but still took it somewhere?

Lol yea exactly and also getting to 150+ on torque was tough on my back. It is my daily driver so I figured spend a couple hundred have it dialed in and on the off change they did do a good job I’d have someone to work with in the future. I had a spacer lift but i figured do it right so between the lift, control arms, and front and rear adj track bars I should be set. But it’s been a nightmare.

Yea I drove it down there about 10miles. Felt great! Drove straight and no shake.. when I got it back granted I only went 200 feet but I was hearing a clunk going from forward to reverse and a grinding noise while I was driving away… all I could see was the front springs pressed against the sway bar disconnects not sure if it would cause grinding noise. It wasn’t a sound of the gears or anything in fact as bad of a job as they did the driveshafts do look straight and at a good angle
