Did the dealership check: The alignment? Tie rod ends for binding? Bent steering components? Another thing that can cause "sticky" steering is the steering shaft as it has at least one joint in it that can cause binding if it becomes damaged. I could never figure out if the rack has a high...

Lots of good recommendations in comments. I second the project Farm kinetic rope testing. Might consider recovery products made here in the USA. Specifically, the ones that identify their failure points such as working load limit and minimum breaking strength. Beware any Amazon specials.

I am a curious guy, and only have access to my own experiences. Have you run across many automotive consumer lead-acid batteries that blew up? Or recently?

When I disconnect the battery, (For whatever system I work on), I only remove the positive terminal.

WOW! So the UCA's were reversed! I thought it was pretty wild to suggest it. Glad you got a fix, and that caster number is much much better. What are the 35's rubbing on?

Well done! LOL

Anytime! And, I've got one for you, have you encountered the mounting tabs breaking off the front differential on the 5th gen RAMs?

Here are measurements off my 2019 Rebel before my lift, measured center hub to bottom of fender flare, with 3/4 tank of gas (26 gallon tank)_: Front driver 22", Front passenger 22-1/8". Rear driver 23.-3/4", Rear passenger 24-1/8".

With the OP having caster about negative 1 degree, I wonder, is it possible to install the driver UCA on the passenger, and the passenger UCA on the driver? Would this push caster into negative numbers? I just checked alignment numbers from several alignments after my lift and caster numbers...

Do you have any photos of the suspension/UCA/spindle? Maybe with the tire off? It might reveal something.

The part about molars and back problems, gave me a good chuckle.

Here is a picture of what happened with my lower shock mounts. It took me several rounds of filing to get enough material removed. Might be time to buy an air file...

I agree with Booogielander, call FOX and talk to them about this. Not sure if you bought a suspension "package" that included the Fabtech UCAs, but if you did buy a suspension "package" from a shop or such, call them too. It could be that the Fabtech UCAs may not have enough caster baked into...

This happened to my truck as well... but it was with King 2.5 coilovers from Carli. Spoke with Carli and CJC about a solution and I ended up removing a fair bit of material from both lower spring seats. I have had mine aligned as well (several times), with the last time through a shop that...

Capriciously dropping into neutral is terrible option for a vehicle that no one would place on an order sheet. :p I've had success with disconnecting the battery and then removing the throttle body and giving it a thorough cleaning, as suggested by others here. Some of us have also reported...
