William,
Sounds like you did your best! Unfortunately you can balance bent rims and out of round tires all day long and it still won't be right! It sounds like you had multiple problems, all contributing. Very hard to analyze. Been there, done that.
Now that all is right, jump on the first thing indicating a problem. Jeeps can be such a PIA when you don't have unlimited time to tinker.
Some free advise: measure your tie rod from the zert to the zert on the drag link and write down the measurement. If you bend or break a tie rod you can get the toe "in the ball park" on the trail. Now, cut a stick that will just pass through the rear of the bulge on the rear part of your front tires. It should be a tight fit on the front part. You now have a toe stick that works pretty good if you use it on the same tires with the same pressure in them.
It works for me!
