It started raining so I didn't get on the highway, but did get up to 50 or so. I can certainly tell a big difference. Much easier to keep it going in a straight line. Before it felt a little like a boat where you always have to fight it a little bit.

I do need an alignment now, the steering wheel is a tiny bit to the left. Is that something I can easily adjust myself?
Yep…..

Keep in mind that it takes very little movement on the drag link to move the steering wheel. Start with 1/4 turn or 1/2 turn of the adjuster and see how much that moves the steering wheel.

SHeeeeit that's easy. Saved me a trip to the shop. Thanks y'all.
There is a torque spec on the clamp nut. I don’t recall it off the top of my head though. There’s a torque spec thread on here.

A full alignment is easy for a Jeep. Most people don’t realize that they can easily do it in their driveway.

Up to a certain level of “precision” lol
It’s definitely not rocket science. 1/8” + or - is plenty good enough. Remember the specs an alignment shop uses are stock figures which do not work for a Jeep with modified suspension… so… taking it to a shop for an alignment is a crap shoot.
