axle set a half inch back on passenger side
my front axle seems to be set back about a half inch on the passenger side compared to the driver's. basically when putting my finger inside the coil, the space between the bump stop and the coil is wide open on the driver side while I cant get it inbetween (there is some space, but too tight for my finger to properly go in there, so the coil isn't contacting the bump stop) on the other side. also, by looking at the distance between the bottom fender and the tire shows roughly 1/2" difference.
is this something that's related to the alignement and/or track bar adjustment?

neither, they're fixed that came with the 4.5" kit. I know it's not the ideal, but so far they've worked fine and seem tight (I had them rest on jack stands so I can't be sure)
by looking more closely after posting this thread, it looks like my axle is also shifted about 3/8" to the driver's side, measuring from the frame rail to the outside of the tire, and there's also a slight play in the track bar axle bracket joint. I'll have to look into that and then see if it changes the first issue I mentionned.
