just add washers to even them out and you should get close enough.

Default trackbar

if you put lift on your jeep and did not compinsate with an adj track bar or bracket your front axle will shift to the driver side and the rear to the passanger side which will cause your sway bar links to be at an angle. not that big of a deal with that much lift but adj trackbars would be a good idea later down the road.

Best bet is a Teraflex monster trac bar so you can adjust the axle back to center, also it looks like now your links are too short If you get top much articulation the links could flip backwards and pretzel when the axle moves back up

That's curious. I wonder if 2 door sway bar links are shorter than unlimited links. Somehow I doubt it, but you never know.
