Still debating on whether I should install the track bar drop bracket that came in the kit. It drives perfect as is.
The drop bracket basically places the track bar close to the original stock position so that the rear axle doesn't shift. If the axle has only shifted 1/8 inch or so toward the passenger side (I think I got the shift direction correct), then I wouldn't worry too much if the JK is driving perfectly as you indicate. If the shift is closer to say 1/2 inch, then I'd look at centering everything back up.
Just a heads up. If you get the ESP occasionally activating as you turn through a tight corner, or "accelerate" through a cloverleaf (typically one heading downward), then it's probably from the non-centered axles. Nothing dramatic, but just so you know.
Did you measure what kind of lift you got out of it? From ground to fender, or hub to fender?
Looks GOOD! I think I should have went with TF and not RC.
Didn't measure beforehand but getting into the jeep is a bit more of a 'hop' then before. My wife went to get in last night wearing heels and she almost twisted her ankle 37's and xenons will be on very soon.

I have the same kit on my jk and without the bracket the rear was about 1 and a quarter inches off center. front is very minimal so I left the front alone
