I have a '21 Sport Altitude that has a Teraflex 1.5" spacer lift with Rubi 33" takeoffs. I've been running the wheels and tires for 5k miles, and I noticed today both front tires are feathering. I'm still running the original LCAs, but the Jeep drives great.

My question is: would this just be an alignment issue to fix?

Thanks

Pics would help, but excessive toe and/or caster are the typical causes. Considering that Wranglers are definitely not known to have excessive caster, I’m gonna guess your toe setting is out of whack for some reason.

I will dig into it more tomorrow and post my findings. I'm really wondering do I install Mopar LCAs and/or just get an alignment?

First step is go somewhere for an alignment spec sheet. A lot of places will do a free "alignment check" where they'll rack it and give you a sheet with your numbers. Once you have that sheet, you can post back here and you'll get some more thoughtful responses.
