Angry 3" rc lift + 2"spacers..help

I did my searching and couldnt find the answer to my problem. im in the process of installing a RC 3" coil and AAl with LCA's, on already 2" spacers and shackles. when changing out the LCA my axle moved 2-3" to the left, without a sway bar is there anyway to align the front axle? also snapped a bolt on rear shock mount on axle, what would be the best way of fixing this?
Thanks

You need a track bar that is the correct length in conjunction with the lift, its not really optional about 3.5"

for your shock mount, cut both mounts off raise it up and mount it to the side. now you still have your mount with out it being on the bottom of the axle for more clearance. i have been planning on doin this. has any one done it?

just weld it on there?

On the front track rod mount. from existing hole, straight over 3/4” and mark using a punch.
15. Drill the new track bar hole using a 7/16 drill bit, making sure to drill level. Do not reinstall track rod at this

Check to make sure the body is centered over the axle. Unlocking the steering wheel and turning the
wheel to move the body, do this until the newly drilled track rod extension hole line up. Install the track rod
with the stock bolt /flag nut and using a 15mm wrench.Torque to factory specs

im gonnna do it tomorrow
