Default Drivers side front tires is sticking out? passenger side isnt???

i just install 4inch lift 5 days ago and now the drivers front tire sticks out 2 inches from the fender and the passenger tire is lined up with the fender? do i need to adjust something since i lifted it? i still have the stock track bar on and pitman is in the same location. or do i just need to get my tires aligned?

You need an adjustable Trac-bar

it is the piece that centers your axle under the jeep ...
you went up so the axle shifted over (trac bar is the same lenght)

Depends on how far you plan on lifting it. JKS and RE are good. Rusty's offroad has a cheap t-bar + double shear setup.

A beefy one. I run the JKS one, but it's pretty pricey. Ironman 4x4 makes a really nice one too. I think he gives a forum discount as well.

But as stated it also depends on your lift.

rtalabama, how did this turn out for you? I am interested because just had the same diagnosis from an alignment shop yesterday. Ordered an RE 3.5" to 4.5" adjustable track bar from Quadratec today. Thanks!

It turned out well. The front tires are now aligned. My steering wheel is turned left 45 degrees when going straight lol but that's because I have to adj the drag link and maybe the tie road if the wheels are toed in or out.

I got a rockkrawler bar and I don't have any death wobble going at 70pmh
