I didn't really pay any attention until now, but I noticed today that the front axle seemed to be a little off (more of it towards the driver side) and the rear axle seems to be a little more toward the passenger side. I know there is usually some offset, but are they usually in different directions?

the front and rear trackbars are attached to the axle in opposite directions, that's why they are shifted the opposite way like that.

with only a 2" lift, it shouldn't be that noticeable....I've got about 3" on mine and you can't tell at all just by looking.

Well, I ended up with at least 3" between 2" lift and unlimited springs.

You wouldn't just notice by glancing at it...but I notice if I compare how far the tires come out to the edge of the fenders....maybe....5"..?

oh, well that's about like mine then I guess....not much, but just enough to see if you look closely. It doesn't bother me though, I'll deal with it rather than spend the money for more parts that may or may not be needed.
