Yes...take a picture. The picture needs to include all steering components in one shot. We will then impart our infinite wisdom on you.

Did you get it aligned after the lift??? Also, try switching your front tires D-P side and see if it pulls the opposite direction.

I went out with only a rear recovery point. Just have to put you where you can be pulled out backwards...

I am going to check the alignment this weekend, the lift was done by the PO, so I have no idea if he did or not

If that doesn't fix it, swap the front tires around. If it is a tire, that will tell you real fast...
How did you get it through inspection with it pulling??? They nailed my ZJ with that when I went through last summer.
