I am installing a 3.5" RE Super-flex system in our 2001 TJ. Look at the photo of my rear install as I cycled the suspension last night. It might be a bit difficult to gauge from the photo but each side depicts where initial contact is being made. Driver side is almost a complete miss. Passenger is a partial miss. I feel like the upper and lower bumps won't meet as I have seen other photos of and I'm not sure what adjustments need to be made, if any, to the track bar. The axle is very close to centered already (within 1/4"). It looks like the axle needs to shift towards the center from each side, however doing so, would make the opposite side worse.
I set the upper links according to Rubicon's instructions (3/4" longer than stock-to start with). I understand that I may need to adjust the pinion a bit more after the new driveshaft is installed. That would improve the front/rear location slightly. It's the left/right positioning I'm concerned about. Or am I being too picky?
Thinking about it this morning, I was using my floor jack under the brake drum from the side of the axles. Is it possible I would see a better bump alignment if I was jacking it from the rear so the jack isn't exerting lateral forces to the axle as the jack rises?
