Default Tf 2.5 Lift Problem??

I haven't seen or heard of anyone else having this problem with the TF 2.5 BB.

I noticed that the front axle has shifted about 1/2" to the drivers side. I really didn't notice after installing the lift and tires. It became noticeable after installing the spidertrax spacers. At first, I thought the spacer wasn't on all the way or something. After taking a closer look I noticed the front springs are leaning (not sure if leaning is a good word) to the drivers side.

Imagine pushing your axle to the left or right 1/2" or so what would the springs do?? That's exactly what I have and the drivers side front tire is noticeably sticking out further than the passenger side.

Any Idea hpw this has happened??

What I can do to correct it??

Thanks

J , this is normal, but shld be more like 1/4"

an adjustable trackbar shld get you line up again, but is isn't necessary. anyone with a lift has this issue. the bigger the lift, the more the shift.

Adj. Front Trackbar will allow you to correct that. Many customers have ran with one and many aren't using one.#1753400 is the part number.
