Reinstall a track bar??? Help

Lake919 · May 9, 2015

So I am installing my RC 3" lift to clear my rubicon tires and I have hit a snag. I had to pull the track bar from the passenger side to droop the axle more to get the coils out and now that I have the lifted coils in and the new lower control arms, I cannot get the track bar to line back up, its off by 1/2 inch. HELP me please Gurus. Thanks Mike

Have someone turn the steering wheel while you align it. Be careful, but should be done in 5 mins.

If no helper is available, use a ratchet strap.

still using the stock trackbar? I'd recommend you get a longer one.

This is a good point. At 3" your adjustment is probably the 1/2" you were off. Now your axle is about 1/2" off center to the left (drivers side).

My favorite tool for aligning control arms and the track bar is a one ton come-a-long.
It makes it possible to get the job done quickly and safely, when working by myself.

Thanks for the advice guys. Anyone have a suggestion for a new track bar?
