Hey guys I have a question about centering my rear axle after a triangular 4 link rear setup. Both upper links are the same sizes and both lower links are the same. The Axle is sticking 1in out more to the Driver side. this setup does not have a rear track bar so how would I approach this matter? which arms should I adjust. Right now with the measurement it sets pretty center between the wheel wall. The long arm lift kit is from Iron rock. any help will be appreciated thanks.
 
My simple minded brain thinks pull in the driver side upper and lowers equally with what you push out from the passenger side upper and lowers, right? Maybe half an inch in on driver, half out on passenger side, then see where that gets you.

Is this a savvy mid-arm? Other mid or long arm?
If one set of arms is relatively parallel to the frame, those you leave alone. For the savvy system that would be the lowers. The uppers on the savvy system, which are more divergent from the long axis of the jeep, are the ones you used to adjust the side to side.

If you shorten or lengthen both upper and lower on one side, I think that would make the axle not perpendicular to the long axis.

I found a pic of the iron rock long arm. I still think adjusting the uppers is the way to go. Assuming the brackets on the lowers are correctly placed, keeping the lowers the same length will keep the axle square. Then by shortening one upper and lengthening the other, you will be able to move the axle towards the side you shortened on.
