ok. Thanks Boss!

my understanding is that any lift (moving the frame away from the axle) will effectively shorten the lateral length of the trackbar. Causing the axle to be "pulled" toward the drivers side. But there are guys WAAAAYYYY more versed in this subject than me. FWIW, mine was off over an inch after...

Goatman, my understanding was to set the total toe in to 1/16-1/8" and then adjust draglink to set the steering wheel back to center. I am probably all balled up on that for sure. If you center the steering wheel first, what is your reference point for setting the toe for each side? My...

Should have known that one. Replaced two this weekend. 😔

it sure seems to be true that “you get what you pay for”. Forgive my ignorance but “TRE” is?

Got it. Thanks. A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. Trying to learn and not freak out about what i have/don’t have (Yet). Spent weekend setting bump stops, front springs and replacing tie rod adj shaft. After that, alignment was piece of cake. 😊

Ok. So there should be no excessive bump steer with stock axles and 2 1/2” or so?

amazing thread. You guys are savants! So, at what point of lift do you recommend track bar relocation bracket and/or dropped pitman arm. I thought I had read that the dropped pitman arms were not well received? The adj track bar solves recentering the axle on the frame, but doesnt help...

😂😂

Actually just finished aligning it. I ended up replace the tie rod adj sleeve. It was frozen. After that it was 2 ⅛” out. Ouch. But a couple turns and dialed it in. It’s now 1/16-⅛” total toe in. I have to replace the track bar after the lift (won’t be here for a while) so I’ll do the...

third pic. Totally. I've seen the other ones and for some reason, the finish just doesnt do it for me at all. Like the tires too!

Ok. Just checking to see if it made sense. Not off my rocker.

So..just about done with front half of lift install (2002 Tj Sport, 2 ½" lift, Bilstein shocks). I will post sep thread on that, had to make some concessions to budget but, another story. I bolted it all back together and checked toe. First time, I used 36" of ¼ steel tube and marked at 32"...

Awesome. Got some thinking/planning to do. Cant thank you all enough for the amazing support. You guys and this site are awesome! Cant wait to get at modifying and hopefully someday offroading the toy. Hard in Mass but we'll see how we do.

Got it. Are the 10mm / 3/4" spacers used to fine tune the rake and/or get rid of it?
