Default front axle offset to driver's side?

So I installed a TF performance leveler kit which includes coilsprings that raise the front 2" (actual was 1.75") and rear 1" (actual was 1/2") any way I read the alignment thread on the Wayolife forum and while toe and caster seem close to spec the front axle is 1/4-5/16" to the driver's side. Is this a problem or normal? thanks.

Totally normal. As you lift higher, both axles shift to one side. There are trackbar brackets that will help to recenter, or you can opt for adjustable trackbars, or just leave it alone.

thanks, it drives fine at all speeds so probably going to skip the track bar/bracket for now.

Tool it in for an alignment and it did not need anything but a minor toe adjustment. Caster and camber were perfect.
