Looks like the Trackbar is pushing the axle way to the passenger side also. My links stand perfectly vertical. not sure if thats just a teraflex deal or not but it dont look right. I'd take it back or take it to an offroad shop that knows what they're doing.

Not a TeraFlex deal, that trackbar will work on a stock JK, so the shop has it set too long.

Shop says the suspension has settled, needs a complete re-alignment after 1000 miles. So I'm a noob I guess,

Lame excuse for their screw up, Trackbars don't extend them self's when they settle.

No cost for the realignment? Should be on the shop.

Theyre right. Track bar is set too long. You can see the springs bowing out because they are misaligned

I didnt think it was, It's to bad there are shops out there that install your products incorrectly and make you look bad.
I'm saving for a long arm kit and you can bet it will say TeraFlex all over it.

They claim the springs have settled, so adjustments are needed. They claim all springs can settle up to an inch and a half.

Maybe their house brand doe's this but not TeraFlex coils on a stock JK. Time for a call to corporate. Feel free to give them my name and number, I'd love to have a chat with them.

If you have the Teraflex monster track bar just adjust it yourself. It's easy to do. When I did mine I measured from a spot on each front tire to the frame, then adjust until the distance is the same.
