    Yeah your caster being off is what causes the wandering feeling. Aftermarket UCAs are meant to dial caster back into the alignment (and add clearance, allow for more droop, etc.) and will fix your issues. I ran SPCs on my 07 and liked the adjustability:

    Sweet. Definitely wishing i would've just got these through headstrong since they offer them in the full suspension kit for a little cheaper, but gotta bite the bullet with the amount of city driving I do.

    @redtaco512

    You need to tap into the green wire with the red stripe for the positive for your third brake light sir.

    I recommend tapping into it between where the brake light plugs into the factory harness, and where the bulb screws into the socket. That way, you are cutting into an area in the harness that is readily available and comes with most aftermarket tail lights (Ie its replaceable if you ever go back to stock)
