Default Very slight pull to right after lift.

Hello All
Installed some 2" coil spacers, rear track bar drop bracket this weekend.
Drives great except for the slight pull to the right.
Is the drag link the adjustment needed?

thanks.

Drag link should be fine. Could be the front axle being off center(track bar).

Sounds like you may need to re-center your axle. Which means you need either an Adjustable Trackbar or a Trackbar Relocation Bracket. The actual trackbar is better than going with the bracket. The bracket is just a cheap and quick fix to the problem. The adjustable trackbar will also allow you to get your alignment dialed in perfectly as compared to putting a band-aid on it with the relocation bracket.

Hope this helps! Feel free to PM me if you have any questions!

Thanks ya'll
Didn't buy a track bar fix in case I didn't need it.
Looks like I need it now.
My best measurement only shows about 3/16 off. Guess thats enough.

Default Meh

I can't say I would be too worried about 3/16 of an inch. Mine was a full inch off at one point and ran that way for quite awhile. Pretty damn hard to get an accurate measurement for this in the first place. I do have an adjustable track bar and I dont think I would bother even adjusting mine for the 3/16 of an inch let alone buy one over it.
