2wd lift sucks!
Put the Fabtech springs and control arms on my 2wd with the 2.3l and it rides like crap! The camber went way out on it and now my tires look like they are bent in at the top. I think I'm just going to put the factory springs back in and the spacer and call it a day. If you have a 2wd with a 4 cyclinder do not install the Fabtech lift springs!

1. you bought the incorrect lift
2. you installed correct/incorrect lift..incorrectly
3. the folks you got to align it were too busy with the male appendage in their mouth, than the task at hand.
I always take it to the shop and sit right outside the bay and ask for a spec sheet of before and after. accountability does wonders in making things get done at mech shops

Yeah Im thinking that is the case. Taking it in and having it done again but at a different place.
Also I did put in all new ball joints. All hardware is only 2 weeks old went in new with the lift. Another thing it is just the 2.5" lift from Fagtech. Just the coils and UCA's.
Anyone know where you get longer sway bar links?

you could make sway bar links if you really wanted to. (i say leave it out, folks like it better without it)
go to home depot, get a threaded rod thats not larger than stock sway bar link in diameter, get some mac daddy washers that fit around the threaded rob and not through the whole in the sway bar itself, then some elastic stop nuts and build a link.

Yeah I will give it a try. Hoping the ride gets better. My 2500 Ram rides smoother with beefed up front springs.

Thats because of the weight. Lifting or lowering will always cause a rougher ride normally. You may also need to get some longer front shocks. That could be another cause to the rough ride.

if your shocks are maxed (they 100% are) its gonna ride like a tank. your gonna need extended front shocks. an alignment before shocks is also a bad idea, because i bet the shocks wont le everything drop down properly.
