How long have you had THIS Jeep? Is it your first Jeep? How wide are your tires? A lot of times larger tires will follow road crown more dramatically than skinnier tires due to the large contact patch. Also low caster angle can also cause bad directional stability. My bet would be that the caster is your main issue.

Shouldn't be caused by the tires. See what happens with those caster shims installed. I would also check the ball joints and wheel bearings for looseness.

Im fairly optimistic in hoping the shims will at least make it driveable, where i can then check the rear tires for any "dogtracking". Ball joints have been checked many times over and wheel bearings are on the list to check just havent been gotten to yet
