Axle Alignment and tire wear
Hello I just put 35's on my jeep after lifting it 2.5 inches using a TF Coil kit.
My question is that both of my axles are not perfectly center under the jeep. they stick out an inch more on the driver side. However they stick out evenly towards the driver side so they technically are align with each other just not under the vehicle.
Will this cause any abnormal wheel on the tires? Is it imperative that I get this fixed right away? Money is tight right now and can't really afford to buy an adjustable rear track bar. I already have an adjustable front.
Thanks.

I do have an RK front track bar I adjusted, thinking about getting an adjustable terraflex for the rear. I do have the rear bracket that came with the TF 2.5 cool lift I also added 1 inch rear spacers. I was thinking as long as the two axles are aligned with each other I should have good tire wear. I am planning on not adjusting the front track bar until I have funds for the rear.

Why don't you install the rear track bar bracket to center the rear axle and then adjust the front track bar to center the front axle ??
This centers them both. Did I miss something.....

I'm assuming since he said that he has the rear TB bracket, that he installed it. I could be wrong.

Shot in the dark here but did you ratchet strap the axle and frame to line up the rear track bar with the new bracket? The same needs to be done of the front and then install the adj. trackbar. I could see someone not ratcheting it and just making the trackbar long enough to fit. The front was more difficult for me with all the measuring.
