Default need help idler and pitman arm and more

I have a rc lift on my blazer and my alignment is off I took it in for an alignment but it didn't last long before unaligned I wanted to do some off roading nothing hardcore I know it won't last with the ifs I replaced all the front steering new but I wasn't aware off parts being cheap quality then again you get what you pay for I've been reading about the 1 ton idler and pitman upgrade but its a bit pricy does anyone know the specs for the bracket adapted plate I work at a aerospace company and a man in maintanace dpt could do it for me but I need the specs I've seen others do it them self's but its only pictures no other info on dimensions and my front tires sound as if they are oval or something when rolling at slow speed they make the blazer shake a bit

I believe the 1 ton upgrade is made for the zr2 but I could be wrong. Jamaroon has made his own so he might be able to help a bit. As for the tires being shakey are you sure they are properly balanced? Unbalanced tires can make an alignment seem off or make the truck pull to one side or the other as well and they will definatly be shaky.

I'm sure its not a balanced issue cus I bought the tires new at a local shop and they specialize in off roading the wheels are not straight one pops out and the other sticks in a bit from the top on both wheels my brothers 2cents is that it need new bushings and a alignment again and the tires are getting worn out badly and I only have almost one year with the RC kit the wheels and bushing whole steering
