Default Adjustable Trackbar Perfection?

I bought adjustable front and rear JKS trackbars to compliment my Teraflex 2.5 coil lift.

I installed the trackbars and am trying to center the axles.

How close is perfect? I been messing with these things for a while and the closest I can get the front is 2/16" off (driver to passenger).....I am measuring from the frame to the outer edge of the tire using a straight edge.

Yes, 1/8" might be as close as you can get it. That's about where mine is at. Once I got it that close I made one full turn on the threaded end to see if it would come any closer and it just threw it off in the other direction. I'd say you're pretty good.

Is that JKS front track bar stout in comparison to the oem, I noticed my OEM track bar has alot of flex when cranking the wheel back and forth. also the bushings give alot.

just ordered the JKS trackbar today
