Help with re=centering axles with 1.75 " lift
This is my third JK. The first two had complete lifts with adjustable everything.
This time I'm going much smaller. I used a 1.75 inch Daystar spacer lift and 33's
I guess because my lift is so mild and my tires are relatively close to my fenders, I can really see how far my axles are off-center. It doesn't ride bad or anything, it's mainly for cosmetics.
What route should I take to line these axles up?
My measurements from my fenders are..............
Driver front 1.75"
Passenger front 1.25"
Driver rear 1.25"
Passenger rear 1.75"
Keep in mind that this Jk will never see any rocks. Mostly beach and snow. I don't want to spend big money on Huge adjustable trackbars but would like quality components. Does an adjustable front trackbar and a bracket for the rear sound like the right path? I'm just not sure what to do and if any manufacturer even offers a bracket geared toward my itty bitty 1.75 inch lift

Only way to fix it is track bar brackets or adjustable track bar. The brackets probably won't give you the exact length you need so really adjustable brackets are the only choice. Since your not doing any heavy wheeling. Just do a search and find the cheapest one's you can if money is a concern. I think you pretty much realized this already.
The rear would only be slightly off and the front would be a bit more. Add an adjustable track bar up front and I doubt if you need anything on the rear. You could raise the rear bracket 1.25" and it would recenter but you likely only are offset .25" in the rear and may not be worth the trouble.
You can use math to calculate the amount of shift you have. Think of the suspension as a triangle and use the quadratic formula.

I was just in the same boat as you with a TF level kit. I didn't care if my axles were "only off a tiny bit" it's still off. One big selling point to me is on vehicle adjustability.
I used the TF Monster front because it's a huge solid chunk (18lbs) of steel. Search Youtube for it and you'll see a video of it in comparison to some others, showing the actual bars flexing.
The rear I used Spohn Performance adjustable track bar and TB mount reinforcement, again for the on vehicle adjustments. I've had good luck with their parts on other vehicles I've owned.
Adjustable Rear Track Bar | Jeep JK Wrangler with 0"-6" Lift
I was able to center both axles (easily) without issue, even tho my net lift is only 1.5".
I don't think you'll find a bracket (axle or frame side) to fit your needs, atleast I didn't find one.
Yeah I spent a little more money but I'm happy and the track bars can grow with the Jeep.
You need to measure from the frame rails in the rear and spring pockets up front.

It's really noticeable. I think because the lift is so small compared to others I have had. I am ordering the JKS adjustable front and rear trackbar kit from Northridge.
