What width tire do you have? I'm assuming it's a 10.5in so if you want it to stick out a little more than stock go 4" or 3.75" backspacing

Close is good enough for me. Here's my rack if that helps. I think it's on the smaller side of racks, at least from the ones I've seen. It doesn't stick up too much. I'm on like a 3-4'' lift now, and I fit in the garage with that 33'' spare on.

does anyone make a bracket for the lower track bar mount to adjust it for a lift I can't afford an adjustable track bar yet and need to do something my axle sits pretty far left.

that will not do what he needs it to do.

Sorry OP, there's no alternative other than a longer (adjustable) trackbar for your situation.

Sounds like they are not seated right and or the wrong coils for an xj.

Why won't that work?

Perhaps the axle isn't centered?

a drop bracket only changes the geometry of the steering (will cause other issues like bump steer), and not the length of the trackbar

that's what he's saying, axle isn't centered because his trackbar is too short
