Answer
John,

After installing any lift, it is always a good idea to have a front wheel alignment done, as there are always some changes in the caster, camber, and toe in.  
Even a minor change in any of these can cause steering problems, and even create a problem called "death wobble" in which the steering components can cause a front tire to vibrate radically.  
I have this problem right now in a 2003 Grand Cherokee, and need to check out the steering components, along with a good alignment, which should cure my problem.
