Default Problem with Budget Boost!

I just got done installing the Teraflex budget boost and my whole front axel is off center by almost a half inch. Am I missing something? Or is there a way to adjust this? Will an alingment fix this? Any info would be great.
Thanks

i think your trac bar is being pulled did you switch the sway bar links, does your steering wheel need to be recentered? you dont need to be worried though many peoples axels are off after lifting including myself i dont even notice it.

The axle shift is due to the lift. The way to correct this is to get an adjustable front track bar. You can use the adjustable track bar to recenter your axle.

it is going to be off by a little bit. If it is a big deal to you, get an adjustable tracbar. That will help fix it. It is not that big of a deal though, mine has been like that for 6 months and no problems thus far.

Even if you don't notice it, your suspension cycle will. Your swaybar links, coils, and shocks will be ever so slightly tilted, when flexed or not. Properly do the lift by installing an adjustable trackbar and recenter your axle.
