All In
Its all in, the rear was alot easier than the front.. Ill put pics up after, but i have a question, since i didnt relocate my rear trackbar yet my axle is offset about 2 inches, would this cause the body to be pulled down on the drivers side? It seems that the body is leaning down on the drivers side and i cant seem to see why. Any ideas?

Till Valhalla!
I don't think so, some of the common culprits for a new lift leaning could either be that you didn't seat the coils in properly into the coil buckets and/or some kits come with one coil alittle taller than the other (drivers side) to offset the weight of a driver and you may have put that one on the passanger side, however (i'm not familiar with ZJ's) the axle being positioned not in the center may be a cause, but i don't see how it would.

yup, swap springs and see how it sits.

It is possible if the amount of pull is making the suspension bind.
Regardless, you need to get a correct track bar.

hmm
Ok, well ill wait till i get my proper track bars to see if that helps, cause i really dont want to be pulling my front springs again, it was a PITA to get them in. if the track bars dont correct it then ill pull the springs. Tomorrow i'll machine my t-case spacers so i can drop it, rear driveshaft seems good, but the front is pretty severe.

Pics
Here are 2 pics of the front and rear contol arms and ddrive shafts from the pass. side.

The ca's are steep, and the Dr.Shfts arent too bad.
Making my t-case spacers now, ill take some more pics when i install them.
it appears that the truck levels out when i put it in gear on level ground, but when i go back to neutral the drivers rear wheel apears to be rolling backward causing the drivers side of the truck to sit down. Is this due to the short ca's and their angle? no longer holding the axle but allowing it to rotate under the truck?

Yeah, i think it could be because of your short control arms.
How do your brake lines? I highly doubt that you will be albe to flex your rig out let alone go over a speed bump with the stock ones.

Actually i still have brake line left. i was out horsing and drove up on some snow banks, didnt seem like it wanted to flex any further and still had line left.

Not the most extreme but seemed like the truck wanted to roll over past this point rather than flex.
Cool. I think your CA and track bar will hurt your flex a little. Might as well try it and see how you like it but as soon as you can afford it i would get new CA and brake lines.
