Default 2.5in Teraflex lift issue?

I have noticed that my rear axle has shifted (towards driver side) more than most. I have their raised axle side trackbar bracket. The real issue is that my upper control arm on the passenger side is insanely close. Millimeters and it looks like it rubs over certain angles/ bumps.

No reply from TF yet. Notice anything I did wrong?

Nothing you did wrong and that TB bracket was suppose to get your TB centered as close as possible. If not you may have to end up getting an adjustable rear track bar if you wanted to really center your axles.

Looking at your pic. Try bolting the TB on the upper hole that may correct your issue.

Tried that hole first. Actually seemed worse. Mostly concerned about the control arm rubbing. Have you seen something like that before?

Take a picture of the upper track bar mount, at the frame. I want to see how it looks.

Possibly a bent mount or track bar. Just a thought.

I ran that same lift on my 07 a d it was perfect, in your current hole you have it in now.

Looks normal.... Very odd. Hate to say, just order an adjustable rear track bar... but hard to diagnose this without putting it in the air to see what's up. Keep us updated please.

After seeing the new pic you posted up it looks like you have two correction brackets. One on the top and one on the bottom. You only need to use one. Take one of them out and that should center your axle.
