Default Track bar bracket for leveling kit?

Im going to be installing a teraflex leveling kit whenever brown santa delivers it. I know that when i install the kit, my front axle is going to shift toward the driver side about a 1/4 inch. I know its not necessary to adjust for this, but i am anal and would like to keep my axle perfectly centered. Im wondering what track bar bracket I should use to compensate for the 2 inch lift in front. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I would be hesitant to say its even a 1/4 inch. I just put this kit on last weekend and see no noticeable shift in axle position. With the size of the hole you need for the trackbar bolt, you are gonna be hard pressed to find a bracket that will hold up....meaning a 1/4 inch piece of metal with a 1/4 inch hole in it aint gonna do any good.

I see what your saying. Im on stock bfg's with a 1.5 spidertrax and I feel like even a small shift will be noticeable. I wanna have everything perfect because i plan on running this setup until the stock 32's are worn and i move up to 35's and a coil lift.

I have the leveling kit, I can't tell that anything has shifted. I don't think the amount of makes any discernible difference.

You don't need it. I think the bracket would end up shifting things too far the other way.
