Default Trackbar and centering the axle question

Hey everyone. Heres my situation and wondering if having this set up will cause problems later on. I have a 2.5 TF coil lift and bought an adjustable RE trackbar. Looks like the adjustable trackbar is too long while on the jeep. Question is, is having my axle shifted further to the passenger side verses the driver side (with the stock trackbar) going to cause an issue. Should I replace the much beefier aftermarket trackbar back to the stock to prevent any future problems??? My rear trackbar does have a bracket to get the rear axle almost centered. Im having a difficult time trying to picture what is going on under there? .

With a stock track bar on a lifter Jeep, the front axle should shift toward the driver side. If you have more on the passenger side, then I'd say you're fine. There is no issue with the axle being a little off center. If you think about it, as the suspension extends and compresses, the axle shifts side to side. No big deal. If you had a 5" lift, them you'd want to dial it in more.

Thanks for the response. So having off set on either side will be fine. I guess I just wanted to make sure I was. It just felt like maybe It would twist the driveshaft or something??? Even though they are two independent apparatuses correct??? Just want it to be safe. Thanks in advance
