Thanks man. Once I pulled the bracket and hammered the bar back and forth a few times it slid right out. Now I need an 1 1/2 in wrench to break the torque on the lock night so I can extend it a little. It's currently installed, just a little short so the axle is still not centered.

I have a 3 inch rustys lift and it vibrates bad when driving... Would it be worth the try to take the 1 inch transfer case drop off and see if that helps

That'll probably make it worse. It's likely from your driveshaft angle, and the fix is an SYE and a rear CV driveshaft

well it cost money to do things right. Either do it right and don't complain about money or do it wrong and don't complain about ride. I can only imagine how rough it is with stock control arms, and stock trackbar also.

Calm down, brotato.
1) Pretty sure he's interested in the advice.
2) Stock LCAs are fine at 3" below 33s
3) Stock trackbar won't noticeably affect ride quality at that height. (Should be changed, but not for that reason.)

Lift doesn't affect that. There a relationship between wheel backspacing, wheel width, and tire width. This relationship is relative to your axle width. It affects your stance, stability, and turning radius.

3.5-4" is generally recommended, but may vary if you have specific needs.

I don't mind if you ask me questions and such, I just like when people ask questions and use the advice I give instead of asking the same questions over again. I've had 3.5-4" backspacing. Prefer the 4 the best personally. Tucks the 31s right into the fender.
