Default Trac bar

Im finishing up my axle swap and I put a trac bar relocation bracket on while i was at it. I'm at 3" with stock trac bar. The axle was a little off center before obviously. So i decided to put the relocation bracket on while I had the trac bar unhooked. But when I put it all together my axle was shifted to the passenger side and the driver's side coil was rubbing on the trac bar body mount. Any ideas as to what the issue is?

Did you center the vehicle with your axle, then adjust the trac bar accordingly?

oops just saw that you are still using a stock trac bar. You will most likely need an adjustable trac bar to properly align the axle/vehicle.

I had the stock track bar before. I need it going this weekend and I really don't have the money for a track bar right now.

I would disconnect, measure where the vehicle is centered on the axle, then cut and weld the stock bar.
