Default Need some help with 2" spacer lift

I just installed a 2" Zone Offroad spacer lift and now my rear track bar will not install, the bolt hole is about an inch off.

Anyone got any idea on how to line this up? On the front I had the same problem but the instructions say to just move the steering wheel a bit to line it up.

Obviously, I don't have that ability on the rear.

If I need a bracket, can I run for a few days without it?

Thanks
Spuds

Most excellent idea. I wouldn't hurt anything if I drive it a few miles to a friends house? I don't have a strap like that but he does.

The trackbar keeps your axle centered on your Jeep.
Better to invite your friend over for a Beer.

Nope, took your advice and called my friend over here. Tis the reason i'm on this forum, you guys rock!!

Forgot I had an old aircraft tie down strap from my Navy days and him and I strapped it and yanked it into place in about 5 minutes.

No beer but we took down a couple of shots of American Honey Wild Turkey!! Really good stuff.

The ratchet strap is the duck tape of the jeep world. I used 4 of them as a replacement for a broken front trackbar at SMORR this year.
