With a 2.5 budget boost will I have to adjust the track bar? What problems have you had.

Thanks -48willys-

Have to? No. Want to? Up to you.

If having the axles off-center doesn't bug you visually, and doesn't cause any issues (tire rub on one side, etc) then probably no big hurry to get it done. Lots of kits don't come with relo brackets and people are just fine driving around like that. (personally, once I notice one tire sticking out further than the other, I can't un-notice it, and it will always bug me. )

No if you don't mind your axles being offset about an inch on opposite sides.

Since the track bars offset in different directions front and back, someone riding behind you will think you are "crab" driving...bugs the hell out of me, but that is just me.

After I installed my Teraflex 2.5" coil springs I did not notice any shift in my axle. Still centered both the front and rear.

With the 2.5 you will not have to adjust front. I did however have to buy the trackbar bracket to align the rearend back up. Just got the rough country one that bolts to the frame side. Any MFG has these for your aid.

Good luck!
