Adj track bars = no annoying brackets!

Save yourseelf the alignment shop. Just put the control arms on by the project JK write-up and it will be aligned.

I tried that and it doesn't work out very well. My tires are to tall and it's hard to get the tires straight. After I install the control arms I have to align it anyway. The trackbar can be set but the control arms have to be set correctly. The caster will need to be corrected. If your that good you better than the rest of us.

Follow the directions for the control arms too. You wont need to get an alignment when you are done. Mine drives straight as an arrow. If you set the lengths of the control arms the same as the instructions, you should be pretty close. You can tell if it needs more caster by how it drives and how well the steering wheel snaps back after a turn.

Why dont you get it a tune up too! It probably doesn't need that either, but after spending that much on a Jeep, you too cheap to get it a tune up?

Hey, I was trying to give you some help, if you don't want it, do what you want with your money.

After reading some of your posts you seem to be a tool. Quit being so abrasive to people who are offering advise that you requested.

Yeah, really... It's quite common knowledge that A) you don't need the relocation bracket and B) you don't need an alignment.

Not really sure why you're being so grumpy about it. You kinda sound like Piginajeep after a weekend of dispatching.
