Default Front axle shift

Ok everyone, I've installed a 2.5" TF BB and 3/4" leveling spacer and noticed that my front axle has shifted about 1/2"to the passenger side. Is this enough shift to warrant purchasing an adjustable front traction bar?

If you look at the front of your jeep with tire's straight you should see some shift.
Also it could put more wear on front drive.
I was off by 3/8 and put an adjustable track and it trued things up.

1/2" to the passenger side?

Should be driver side...

An adjustable track bar is usually 1/2" longer than stock at it's shortest, so that would make it 1" to the passenger side if what you're saying is true.

The passenger side seems to stick out more.
