The print out you posted has a lot of personal information on it FYI.
That’s a good point I figured most of this information is already on zoom info but I guess the Vin and license plate are not. Even though the license plate is about to change because it needs to be California.

OP recall I took mine in today.

37” ko2 load d
2.5 RK
Synergy tie rod
Steer smarts drag link
Synergy sector shaft brace
Fox ATS steering stablizer

aligned to:
Caster

Driver: 6.1

Passenger: 6.3

Toe total .38 degrees total IN (positive)

psi 26 cold

Drives as good as that size tire will allow. Tomorrow Im going to adjust steering stablizer to stiffen steering up by a few notches (zero to 27 will set to 21 on tightness).

Axles aligned w jeep frame and each other as close as possible.

Fyi friend of mine has a metalcloak setup and loves it.

Drove my friend’s 392 XR the other day, oh boy the steering is tight. Tracks dead straight, no wondering. Same short oem lower control arm. So the reason is really narrow down to quality control and UAW worker’s installation workmanship.

Mine was definitely wondering a lot, it’s better with longer lower control arm (added caster angle) but definitely not even close to my froend’s 392XR.

Get a another one? I’m thinking…….

The 392 XR have the same short lower control arms as the rubicon you mean? And you’re talking about adding the longer control arm from mopar thats 1/4” longer?

Personally if you are going to add all those steering parts, I'd take a look at steer smarts before MC. I have experience with both and IMO the quality of the SS stuff is second to none.

I haven’t made a decision yet. Per the advice of others throwing things at a problem that I’m not 100% sure is going to fix it might not be the best idea. But I need to make some action on this.
