Default centering the axle

Ok so I got my OME lift in and now I am having trouble centering my axle.

I went thru the write up and no luck. I took it in for an alignment and seen if they could center it, No luck.

Can someone please post pics of how to measure each side and how to get the amount to adjust the track bar from the start(as in when I first put in the track bar..... I want to start over)

My pass side spring is bowed...... its seated right and I have a feeling its either the center being off(which it is) or the one of the springs are stiffer than the other. Im betting its the off center thing though.

Pictures of each step would help. I am not very understanding in these things with a bunch of writing. I probably measured it wrong or something.

Are you saying the write up didn't make sense to you?

I took it back to the alignment shop and they finally got it centered for me.

I didnt understand how to measure it and then adjust the track bar, yes.

The pass side front spring is still bowed tiny tiny bit, it got better with the center, its barely noticable, will this be ok to wheel on and driveon, or do I need to go further into it and maybe even think about replacing the spring?
