you might need to install a track bar relocation bracket to make it work. the bracket will pretty much bring you back to center and what little adjustment you have will get you dead on.

Same lift but 2 door, I measured my trackbar and the length is 33 inches from center of bolt to center of bolt with 1/4 inch of adjustment thread exposed. The wheels are perfectly centered to the body. No additional bracket.

The only thing I can think of is that the track bar length minus the threaded eye is different than mine. Measure from center of the bolt to where the eye would thread in. I'll measure mine tomorrow and see if we're the same.

My track bar is 31 1/4 inches without the threaded eye. 33 inches over all center of bolt to center of bolt when adjusted.
