1/4 inch worthy of adjustable track bar?

I just installed a rubicon express lift. I measure and came up with 1/4 of a inch difference (no driver in vechical at time of measurement)

Is that enough to warrant a adjustable front track bar?

It seems to ride fine.... But I just want to be safe.

If you're OCD, yes. But realistically, no. Both axles are constantly moving back and forth when driving anyway and 1/4" is no big deal.

1/4" is not going to cause an issue one way or another. If you are totally anal than you could get an adj tb but not if you are only worried about safety or performance.

1/4" out total means you are actually only 1/8" out. So no there is nothing to worry about.

I was about 3/8" off. I have a mild case of OCD and when a front and rear set of JKS adj. trackbars showed up on Cragslist for cheap I had to have them. OCD has been soothed for now.
