Default adjustable front track bar not needed?

After installing my Black Diamond 3"Lift with Teraflex lower front arms, I checked all my measurements over to find my axle shifted to the passengers side about 5/8" this is after turning the adjustable front track bar down as far as possible, I just swapped out the adjustable one from the kit for the stock one and my axle is sitting centered again ??? Anyone ecounter this?

With the stock track bar installed you should definitely be seeing the axle pulled to the driver's side (LHD vehicles) with any lift.

Nope. The adjustable that comes with the BD 3" when spun down to it's lowest setting is still about 3/4" longer than stock...which is about how far I still had to come back to the drivers side.
I'm aware that it's most common to find the axle shift to the Drivers side the higher you lift....mine didn't, I can only guess it stayed dead center with the lift.
I'm guessing noone else has experienced this?

I agree, but that's alright, runs true handles great so ... works for me.
Just curious if I'm the only one?
