Need some help choosing control arms

[JLStorm]

I'm looking for adjustable control arms for my Sport JLU. I've been researching different control arm options for awhile and have been reading the forums and researching brands and I think I'm ready to pull the trigger on a purchase.

I'm currently looking at this Clayton Overland Plus control arm kit

My jeep has an Eibach All Terrain Lift Kit installed at the Eibach factory in Corona as part of an R&D build. Net lift is between 3.5" - 4" (maybe a little more....I really should get some measurements)
Here's a link to the kit that was installed

Eibach also installed these adjustable factory end links Front and Rear

Control arms were not part of this kit so my caster is obviously off and driving at highway speeds gets pretty squirrely, especially when I'm in a windy area or trying to pass an 18-wheeler. I'd like to work on improving the driveability as a priority but also have it off-road friendly. I do mild, newbie off-roading, no major rock crawling or anything that could potentially damage the body. I currently live in California, but will be moving to Phoenix, AZ area by the end of the year, so I will be in dusty, desert terrain for any off-roading.

My question is, is a full 8 arm kit recommended for my needs or is there a 2 arm or 4 arm kit that would make more sense?
I'm really liking the Clayton Overlands for their adjustability and maintenance free aspect and the price point for the 8 arm kit is a great deal compared to other kits like TerraFlex and some others I've been researching. But I'm not sure if it's overkill for my needs as a recreational off-roader/pavement princess.

Here's a picture of my Jeep. As you can see, the rear axle isn't centered in the wheel well after the lift.
What would you guys recommend for improving her ride and bring the geometry back to stock without breaking the bank?
I don't mind buying pieces here and there as I go in order to keep my bank account happy.

Always good if you can swing it financially to replace all eight arms.

That's kind of what I'm thinking too. The Clayton's are a really good value and I've heard pretty good things about their components overall.

I forgot to mention that a Rusty's adjustable front track bar was installed with the lift.
The stock rear track bar is still being used in the stock mounting location.

So it sounds like if I go with the Clayton Overland 8 arm kit and a rear track bar relocation bracket, I should be set.
I'm looking at this Teraflex relocation bracket.

Any other recommendations?
Is a rear adjustable track bar necessary?

@JLStorm how are you liking the eibach coils and shocks?

If not the Claytons, the Teraflex Alpine arms are a good choice. I'd also add the Teraflex rear track bar bracket to raise the factory rear track bar. Will better align the rear and provide more stability.

I love them and being part of the R&D makes it even better. Admittedly,this is the first properly lifted vehicle I've owned, so I don't have much to compare with, but I've had Eibach lowering kits on vehicles and they make a solid, quality product.
A lot of quality control goes on in their warehouse. I got a tour when I dropped off my Jeep for install and it was very impressive what goes on in there.

I just ordered the Claytons. It doesn't appear that they have a rear track bar relocation bracket, so I'll have to order from a different brand. Maybe I should name my Jeep Frankenstien. LOL

I have been looking at core 4x4. I am on a rc spacer lift and want to upgrade my suspension. Thinking about doing all 8 arms first and then later on replacing the coils and shocks. Wonder how they stack up against Clayton control arms.
