I just got done welding my TnT customs front truss on a few days ago and I final got it under my jeep and just about evrything done. But I was wondering when I go to Weld on the trac bar mount to the axle do I want to center the axle to the jeep or would it better to center the t-case to the dana 44 yoke?

Why would you not center the axle?

(and why would you post a thread about going to a 60 if you're already putting the 44 in?)

Measure to the frame rail behind the coil spring to the outside of the tire. Say for example you get 22". Make sure the other side measures the same distance and your centered.

That what your asking?

Make it so the wheels stick out the same amount on both sides?

that would work. I use a straight edge on the outside of the tires wheels that extends above the tire to the fender and measure off of the with the wheels straight ahead, also leave the track bar unattached at the frame end start up the jeep and use the power steering to move the body back and forth to center the axle under it then use the steering lock to hold it in place until I hook up the track bar
