Front Axle lift question
Hey there everybody i got a quick question. I just put a rustys 4.5 inch lift on my cherokee and i noticed last night while i was out with some friends that my front axle isnt perfectly aligned under the jeep, theres like maybe a half inch more tire sticking out of the drivers side than the passengers side, is that cause i need to put a new track bar in? i have it i just havent gotten around to it, i just wanted to make sure thats what it was, it makes sense to me cause the old track bar isnt long enough with the lift and the new one is adjustable, does that sound right?

Yup sounds about right. Your track bar centers the axle underneath your rig. Make sure it's properly adjusted because in some cases it can also lessen the effects of the dreaded death wobble.
