Default How much axel shift do you get with a leveling kit or springs

I purchased Teraflex leveling springs to install on my 09 Unlimited thinking I would get a little lift with minimal mods that would go nicely with a set of 285-70-17 with wheel spacers.

While reading on the forum looking for the best way to install the leveling springs I came across something I never knew before and that is that you may get some axel shift with a lift kit if you do not use an adjustable track bar in the front and a relocation bracket in the back to correct for the lift and the new angle for the track bar.

My question are:
Is this true even for a leveling kit or springs?
How much axel shift should I expect with my leveling springs?


thanks,
John

At 2-3" you'll need a bracket in the rear not the front, but over 3" you'll need front & rear generally. Levelling kit won't impact it enough to worry.
