Anyone in the Wichita,KS area??

I got some serious wander, and every shop I go to can't figure it out. Spent a bunch of cash at Off-Road Motorsports, and nothing they did made a difference. I'd be happy to meet up and throw someone a few bucks if they can pinpoint the issue. I really don't want to replace anything else unless it's gonna fix the issue. Thanks!

What are the specs on your rig? lift, tires, etc....
any random popping with the wander

3" lift, running 30x9.5's. Got blocks in the back, but hopefully 3" spring packs soon. Gotta figure this out first. New Rancho 5500's in front,
I've read countless posts on multiple sites, and checked about everything that's been mentioned. All the tre's and ball joints seem tight, steering shaft is good, uca and lca bushings are good, no play in the box, caster is just above 6*, and I've had 2 mechanics check it out, finding nothing. All I can see wrong is the sway bar link bushings. The front axle sits maybe 1/2 inch off center, but I doubt that's enough to cause the wander I get. Also, the wheel does't want to return to center. I can feel some resistance initially when turning the wheel from center, but it's smooth after that. Had new u-joints installed too, but that helped nothing. Also, no unusual sounds anywhere.

Might try that. Gotta head that way next week anyway. Pretty new to this Jeep thing, but I can see it becoming a long love/hate relationship.
