Axle off after lift
I'm sure there is a dozen threads on this, and I hope I don't get in trouble for starting another. After installing a teraflex 2.5 coil lift, bilstein and a 1" teraflex coil spacer on my JK, the front axle is off by 1". I'm just wondering how to re-center the axle. I do NOT have an adjustable track bar at this point. Can I do it without one? Thanks for any help, I truly appreciate it!
It's off on the drivers side.

If you do not want to buy an adjustable trackbar, your other options are a relo bracket, getting rid of the lift, or leaving it alone. My opinion would be to get an adj.

Should I get an alignment prior to the track bar install? I don't drive it much, but it will take me a couple if weeks to get one. I have abs and esp lights on after driving on the interstate the other day.

I drove around for a couple of years with the front diff being off center. As long as it handles OK and stays straight you will be fine until you get the Trackbar you want.

Unless you have adjustable control arms, there is no point of having a alignment done. However make sure that you steering wheel is straight.
