Here's how it looks. It the best pic I can get. I haven't touched it since it happened. As you can see, it's not even close to being right.

You def. need to pull that thing off and start over.
It's really not that big of a problem as long as those threads aren't beat to hell.

Do it
Park your jeep on level ground.
Remove the adjustable end of your trackbar,
Put a 2X4 flat against the outer wall of your tire, and measure from the frame to the edge of the 2x4. Do this on both sides.
Some pushing/pulling will need to be done to get the axle centered. When it is, your measurements should be the same.
Adjust your threaded trackbar end to the proper length, tighten the lock nut, and bolt it onto the frame mount. Make sure it's TIGHT.
Take a short drive and check your measurements again. Adjust as needed.

Hey ya'll.
I did it all over just had to dig a snow cave first.
I re-did the trac bar THE RIGHT WAY. I decided to tighten everything down while I was at it.
I found 2 upper CA'S, driverside front shock, and a rear sway that were loose too!
I WILL NEVER AGAIN SAY "TIME IS MONEY" AND PAY FOR ANYTHING TO BE DONE TO MY JEEP!!!!
Thanks for all the responses, 6
