So I put some rancho control arm brackets on and love them, driving/riding is like night and day... I also raised my track bar in the rear too the middle hole... Driving today I noticed that my steering wheel is turned too the left? It was perfect before doing these two things... My question is, was it the brackets or the track bar? And how do I correct it? Thanks guys for all you help

Neither of those should have changed anything but you say it's off so let's fix it. 15mm wrench and the two nuts on your drag link. Loosen the bolts, rotate the barrel until your wheel is straight, tighten, enjoy. Anti-seize the snot out of the barrel is a good idea for a long useful life out of it.

You adjusted the front track bar or rear track bar mounting height?

Adjusting the rear would do it as well. It changes the Jeeps body angle over the axles. Assuming the rear adjustment pushed the axle more driver and the body more passenger, all other parts held constant then it would slightly angle the front body more driver, pulling the track bar and axle with it.

As mentioned, just adjust the drag link.
