Default Quick Coil Spacer Question

Hey guys,

If I add 1 inch coil spacers to my full traction 3" lift to level out the forward rake that is still there, will it shift my front axle toward the driver side? I'm finding that I can not adjust my FT adjustable front track bar short enough to center the front axle. I've been wanting to level the Jeep out anyway, so will this help my issue (I'm off by about 3/8")?

Thanks for any and all replies!

That might actually be exactly what you need.

It will fix your rake, and should pull the axle where you need.

You should check on clearance for front axle if you disco and flex lots once you hit over 3.5+" of lift.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll put in an order with NR4x4 for some spacers and see if that works.

My adjustable front track bar got longer as the Jeep got taller. Do you have a track bar relocation bracket in there also?

Anyway, yes, another inch would make a too-long track bar closer to the right length.

No track bar relocation bracket, found it odd as well that FT would include a track bar that doesn't adjust short enough for their lift. Maybe it's just a sign I need to go taller. HAHA. Thanks for the input, if it doesn't fix the problem I may be shopping for a new front track bar.
