Yes, but it was off by a little over 1/4 of an inch. I was better off with the stock track bar.

yup you need more lift then to push it to the drive side then 3" springs should do the trick other wise I would put the stock bar bak on

To really set the front trac bar, it needs to be set on an alignment machine. Adjusting the heim in or out 1/8" can change the trust angle 10 degrees. Do you have a rear adjustable trac bar?

ive got 2.5 inch springs and the 3/4 inch leveling spacers with a havy bumper and heavy winch so mine sits low

i also have the uperlit track bar, its screwed in all the way and my wheels are perfectly even on both sides

i would say that if you dont have a winch or bumper then you should have some adjustability

i can tell you exactly why it is off..... the superlift trac bars are for their 4" kit or any 4" kit. my brother inlaw (muddytoy) has the teraflex BB and can t even tell the axles are off. i had the skyjacker BB and now the skyjacker 4" kit and i got 5" out of it and my trac bars will be here in afew days. it is really bad now that i have the new lift on.

If thats the case then a certain jeep parts supplier should change the wording on their website. It clearly states for jeeps with 2 to 4 inch lifts.

Update
I've removed the adj traction bar and installed the stock bar. It is now back to where it was out of adj to the drivers side around 1/4 on inch. Which by the way rides alot better than with the adjustable bar.
