Question Rock Krawler Track Bar

OK guys i have been doing a lot of searching on here about how to install a adjustable track bar. I just got my Rock Krawler track bar today and i am planning on puting it in this weekend. I have been searching on how to do this and get it as close to the center as possable. I have reed on here some people take the stock one off and push up and down on the jeep and side to side and let the jeep settle in. Then adjust the new bar to the length need and hook it up. Is this the proper way to do this? Sorry for another thread asking about such a simple thing just want to get it right the first time Thanks

I installed the track bar 2 day and i tried the measuring way that was posted by posjeepxj. I was getting measurements saying that with out the track bar in it was to the passenger side like a inch more. So i ended up measuring for my ACOS to the outside of the tire tread and it was almost a perfect 16"s on both sides. I thought that both sides of the jeep the springs would be sitting in the same spot do you think this would be right? Thanks for the post posjeep!
