Default Tips on Centering Front Axel For Track Bar Install?

Hey guys. Just installed the AEV 2.5" lift kit two weekends ago, and wasnt stoked on how off center the front end is so I purchased the Teraflex Monster Adjustable track bar. In the install directions it says take off the stock bar and then jump up and down on the truck to center the axel or use ratchet straps.

Can anyone confirm the jumping up and down works? or where do I attach the ratchet straps? Anyone have any other tips to get it centered?

You can either attach the ratchet strap to the frame on one end and the axle on the other, turn the wheel as suggested, or use the adjuster sleeve on the track bar to shorten or lengthen the bar. If it's barely off I would use the sleeve.

Here's a YouTube vid from Teraflex showing the install... hope it helps, it looks pretty straight forward...
