Equipment:
2014 jk with 2.5" rock krawler max travel lift, synergy tie rod, synergy drag link, synergy steering stabilizer mount, cheap pro comp steering stabilizer with 315/70/17 on stock rims
Issues:
Had alignment done at Firestone Southaven (for some reason I thought forum member Ben was at that one), tracks great, no wobble or shimmy. I'll try to find the alignment print out and post it. Going over bumps in road or just speed bumps, the steering wheel pulls hard and recorrects to straight....is this bump steer? And can it be fixed?
The other issue is when I hit dips, like before a bridge on the interstate, my esp turns on and goes crazy along with the same issue as above. It's pretty scary and it has even gone off randomly going over rough interstate on a curve. I can handle it, but if my wife happened to be driving, it might freak her out. I don't know if it's safe or not to be driving.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Find the slack.... Something's loose.
Which Southaven firestone?

That alignment will drive straight. I wouldn't worry about those numbers..
Issue is going to be wherever the slack is. Drag link, tie rods, hubs, ball joints, control arms..
The steering stabilizer will help hide that issue but is not a fix for it.

I do have to ask, do you have the same number of turns left and right from the steering wheel straight?

are the drag link and the track bar at close to the same angles ?  A lift will cause them to be a different angles if it's not installed correctly or at the correcting angles and different angles will cause bad bump steer. |

Yeah, steering wheel is centered. 1.5 turns both directions.
To me the drag link and track bar are very close to running the same angle if not parallel.
