i got a 4.5 in lift on my xj and was wondering. if a drop pitman arm and adj. track bar would help correct front end alignment.
Thanks

you should try to get your drag link and trac bar parallel, and center your axle underneath the body

my xj doesnt pull or anything but i noticed that the insides of my tires are wearing, so i figure it was time to do something about it. wasnt sure if track bar or a drop pitman arm would correct the angles.

might be your some of your angles last time you got an alignment did you get a read out sheet?
and what control arms do you run?

i finished my install a little bit ago but didnt get it aligned yet. my xj isnt my daily driver so i wasnt worried but getting aligned right away. i wasnt sure if a track bar would be good thing to put on before i get it aligned. and i use the RC control arms that came w/ my kit. plz dont flame me for using RC

well if the trac bar came with the kit id put it on, when you get your alignment done they should adjust it for you and fix your camber/caster and this should keep your tires from wearing unevenly.
how long has the lift been on?

The more you lift the more toe in you'll get once the lift is installed. I just use a couple of pieces of alum. angle 2 foot long, bungee to the tire evenly and use a tape measure to bring the front end back to 0 to 1/8 toe in.

my kit didnt come w/ a new trac bar just a new steering stabilizer. i was running my stock 235s for a while and noticed some wear in the inside. i just got new rims and 32s so i want to get everything fixed in the front end over the winter before i start driving it more.

if your still running the stock trac bar your axle will be a few inches off, buy a adjustable one, tnt, rubicon express, black diamond, or kevins offroad all make good ones.
