I will certainly look into CAs and asked a lot of questions and looked into purchasing some with the lift. 
The jeep is not driving any better now than it did when i bought it, and it had no lift just 33s. 
the toed out tire was an issue previously.

Let me get some pics up and see what you guys think after viewing it

I'll be the odd duck and say it's not a castor issue only because castor usually affects road manners and castor has minimal effect on toe. You can't tell what the castor angle is by looking at the tires, you have to measure the upper and lower ball joint against a vertcal straight line or by the pinion angle if it was off enough.

I bet Allsouth can fix it.

We'd be happy to check it out for you on the house if you want to bring it by Mon-Fri during business hours, and I'd say before 4PM so we have some time with it. We are about a week out on the schedule, but I know it is a bit of a trek for you so if it is a quick fix we can try and take care if it that day, if not we can schedule to fix it at a later date or let you know what you need to do to take care of it.

Give me call if you want to talk about it.

here is what i was able to take this morning.  I hope it helps and gives you an idea of what i am trying to describe.  I will get a better picture when i get home today and try to get some straight lines down to give a better idea of the front tire.  I hope these are not too distorted and make things look worse than they are. 

these are a little blury so click on them and you get a better picture.
Fingers crossed you are not about to tell me some really bad news [help]

Well, for me. The first pic looks like both tires are toe out. But the bottom pic the tire looks to be out of camber, looks like the top of the tire is leaning in. I think the camera angles are messing it up.

i was afraid of that.  I will get some better straight on pics tonight.  I noticed the camber when i looked at the picture and havent noticed that before. 
I will get some measurements and reference points when i take pics this afternoon.
I think it will be difficult to get both tires in the same frame without looking toed out due to the lens.  i will play around with it, but the passenger tire may be the best i can do for clarity of the issue.  i will get lower to the ground for a more head on representation. 

the steering wheel is set for the wheels to be straight ahead in the pics.

You can’t tell anything by looking at it. The tires will always look toed out. The alignment shop should still have the print out. Until you either throw a tape on it or get the print out you are just wasting everybody’s time.

I was afraid of that too and dont want to waste anyones time. 
I will call the shop that did the alignment and see if they still have the info.
I will get some measurements later today and see if i can make sense of this and then i will get to Allsouth next week for an inspection.

thanks and apologies for wasting time

Actually it is wasting time. The solution to all these toe,caster, and camber questions is to get the alignment printout and see the real numbers. I'd be willing to bet with that printout the issue will be pretty obvious.

we did, and it seems like we are going around in circles with it. its frustrating to offer advice and it not be acknowledged, happens here alot, definitely not just in this thread.
