You should take another look at the X series setup. That's what I went with after adding some stuff up.

First, add up the regular RC 4.5 setup w/ leafs, their adjustable trac bar, the adjustable upper and lower control arms, extended brake lines, quick disconnects, and the 9k series or whichever shocks.
Then compare that to the price of the X series package. Not to mention, if you order from RC and talk to Jeff (ext. 125), tell him you're from Jeep Forum. He'll give you 10% off.

Yup, side to side. When I put in my lift I was still using the original track bar location and it shifted the axle to the passenger side so I redrilled the hole and centered the axle. I have about 5 inches of lift.

Is your axle off center? I just redrilled mine a couple of months ago. Holding up fine. I went about 3/4 of a inch over and BAM!!! recentered the axle. Pretty easy.
