Default Adjustable trackbar instsll tips?

Got a rubicon express adjustable trackbar I'd like to install this weekend but it came with no directions and I can't find any videos on YouTube, install tips on here or on RX website. I'm guessing its simple since there is not much help online but just wanted to get some pointers on here before doing it tomorrow.
Just remove stock track bar and bolt on the adjustable bar in the stock location? How will I know what to adjust the new trackbar to? Thanks in advance

I've haven't done this (yet) but I'm pretty sure it's a fairly simple process. I'm subscribed to Teraflex on Youtube and remembered seeing this a little while back. I hope this helps and you can learn something from it! I sure did! I know you aren't installing a TF Trackbar but I assume it will be the same install.

Here is a link for a track bar write up. Unlike the TeraFlex track bar, it cannot be adjusted when its already installed in the Jeep. Below are some measurements from the Rock Krawler website. You can use that as a starting point...

There's a write up that's very helpful on project jk that helped me out. If I werent at work and on my phone I coupd get it for you or it may be easy enough to search it on project jk. It only takes a tape measure and a carpenters level. Also a little bit of time. Then you will have to adjust your draglink cause I'm pretty sure your steering wheel will be off center. As soon as you start working on it, its all fairly simple, have fun!
