Default drilling the track bar mount with a 3" lift..

I was wondering if I should bother drilling the TB mount with only 3" of lift.. My driver side tire protrudes noticeably further past the fender than the passenger size does, I'd say about an inch..

Now I know the writeups for a 4.5" lift say to drill it over 3/4", but there is no mention with the 3" kits.. and I assume you would want to go less than 3/4" but you couldn't go too much less otherwise you would just be making an elongated hole rather than a seperate hole because it is a 7/16" hole that you are drilling..

Make sense? haha, well I rambled that but anyone who has ever drilled their TB will know what I am talking about..

Do most people drill their track bar bracket over with only 3" of lift? or do you just live with the offset track?
