Default 3" lift......how far to relocate trac-bar????

I've read multiple times....to relocate trac-bar hole 3/4" for 3.5" lift....

Also, is this 3/4"measurement center-center, edge to edge, or whta?
Thanx in advance....

best bet would be to buy an adjustable trac bar $150 shipped from rusty's offroad much stronger and much less chance of it breaking

there is no set number youl have to unbolt the trackbar get axle centered and then mark and drill the hole accordingly each truck acts differently to a new lift so its best to make sure b4 you go drilling when i did mine it was only a 1/2" on a 3" kit

If you goto our writeups section Stryker did a nice writeup on it for a 3" lift he did on his rig.
