Left & Right Wheel Offset Difference

I swapped wheels and there was no change.

I'll be installing a rear track bar bracket. The OME FKWTJ02 wins as a low cost option.

Anyone have an opinion of JKS OGS126 for an adjustable front track bar? Pro Comp JTB400 is also on the short list of front options; any opinions about this one?

I measured an inch difference in frame and body height at points ahead of the rear fender flare and before the front fender flare. My thoughts are that I can replace the OE front springs and 2" lift pucks with + 2" aftermarket springs, and add a .75" spacer if needed. One or both changes should remove forward rake, and bring the axle closer to center, since currently it's offset to the passenger side.

I measured wheel back space, the 3 matching wheels are 3.25", and the odd one is 3.33". That's an insignificant difference.

The rear came into line with a Teraflex track bar relocation bracket, at 2.5" lift. I tried a couple other brackets that neither brought the axle in enough, nor aligned correctly. I also could not get a Rough Country adjustable track bar to clear the fuel tank. The front centered at 3" of lift with the OE track bar. Unfortunately the stock track bar had to be replaced eventually. A combination of being mounted at the limit of its articulation, a worn Clevite bushing, and a half dozen death wobble events, ruined it. I went with a Currie CE-9120TJJ track bar adjusted to its minimum length. By the time I had a chance to replace the OE track bar, it had ovalized the axle side bracket mounting hole, so I chose a bar with a 1/2" bolt.

After removing & inspecting the control arms, and measuring frame straightness (with a string), I couldn't find a reason for the front right side axle bias.
