trac bar

bigin2009 · 03-17-2009, 03:38 PM

can to long of a trac bar cause handling problems or any other alignment issues?

yes it will push you axle off centered, or if its too short it will pull it the other way off centered. happened to me 2" off centered
if you get an adjustable it solves all of those porblems

I know, Im a idiot, lol, what I did was ordered a rustys adj trac bar and ordered it for a 6 inch lift when Im only at 5 1/4, too long. lol now I have to buy another bar.

fixitman · 03-17-2009, 03:51 PM

well you cant adjust it in enough? should be able to

bigin2009 · 03-17-2009, 04:46 PM

Iv got the end adjusted all the way in and it looks like my right side tire is still about a inch to far?

BigCountry96 · 03-17-2009, 06:10 PM

so buy one for 4-5" lift and adjust it, that sucks that you already bought one though, put it up in the sell section on here, im sure someone will want it

I'd say go cheaper by a BB of a bout 1.5" than you can use that one and don't have to shelve any parts..
