Default Thrust angle off 2"

All,
I have a 2012 JKU installed
- TF 2.5" coil and shock lift
- wheel spaces 1.25"
- sahara rims and tires

The thrust angle is 2" (been in accident). I have read about adjustable control arms (front were replaced new) for back or adj trackbar for rear.

What are your thoughts?

Much appreciated!

at 2" is the frame bent? that seems lik a lot for control arms to adjust.

Yes, if you get both upper and lower adjustable control arms, you can move the ends of the axle forward/backward to true it up. And an adjustable trackbar will move the axle left/right if it is not centered.

But before throwing money at that, I'd check the frame as suggested. And the ca brackets. Whatever else. I'd want to get a more complete picture before I started replacing.

Thank you everyone for reply!

Actually looking at the alignment report, the thrust angle is off and is at -0.51'
