Hello, I just measured my axles after installing a 2.5 BB last week. The front is only off about 1/16" and the rear is off 3/8". I was under the impression that the front would be off more than the rear. Am I wrong about this? Should I go ahead and order both trac bars now? I have some FT 3" springs on the way and plan on changing both bars anyway but it may be a awhile untill I can afford control arms so i may just wait and order the front trac bar then. Im gonna order the rear bar either way. Any opinions?

 

is it safe to assume that you've installed a track bar drop bracket? if so, that would explain the difference. either way, you will want adjustable track bars to recenter your axles. but, having said all that, it really isn't that necessary to do - nice to do for sure, but not necessary.

 

Thanks for the help, no brackets were installed. I knew I would not have the BB in for long. I think I'm gonna go ahead and order both track bars. I will need them soon anyway, when I install the 3" springs. Just don't understand why the front is almost centered when it is raised a half inch higher.

 

When I did my 3" FT hd springs in the front, my axle was off about 7/16". The rear was off about 1/2" with the 2.5 BB puck.

 

Sorry for the newbie ? but how do you measure your axle's? I have the BB kit with the 3" HD springs and I didn't check my axle measurement.
