6in quick questions.
ok with my jeep i have a 6/6.5 lift with 33's and the axle only sticks out just about half and inch to an inch towards the driver side. i know i need an adjustable trac bar and adjustable lower control arms but is there anything i can do to get away with it for a little while longer? its not noticable really at all unless another jeep person looks at it but i also think its the reason my jeep pulls off to the left. the tires and alignment are all good to go so im just wondering. let me know if you know what i should do

with out new track bar there isnt much you can do and that wont afect your rig pulling from one side or another much if its pulling hard it needs aligned or you have a low tire

you could try drilling a new hole in the track bar mounting spot but at that much of a kift you should not be using a stock track bar anyways

I wouldn't suggest this with that much lift. You will need to get an adjustable trackbar. Check Rusty's and Rough Country they have pretty good deals on them. Another cheap place would be NAXJA for-sale areas you can find them used on there all the time.

I dont want to start this crap again so let it be known that im just offering my suggestion...my rustys trac bar was a pos. I came down hard on a rock and the Tie Rod End ripped right out of the threads. I went and got me a Rubicon Express trac bar and couldnt be happier. Its even got a hiem joint instead of a TRE

Spooled, You issue is definitely your lack of an adjustable track bar. That is causing your axle to stick out on the drivers side. It is also causing your XJ to pull to the right.
What you have in a stock track bar is a piece of steel that is so long and mounted to the left side of your frame and right side of your front axle. As you lift your Jeep higher this distance becomes longer. If your track bar does not become longer it pulls your whole front axle assembly to the left. Hense your left front wheel sticking out and your pull to the left.
Get an adjustable track bar and your whole issue will be solved.
