Rig on it's wheels?
Start it, rotate the steering wheel while someone inserts the bolt once the holes line up. Turning the wheel will move the body over the axle to allow you to insert it.

Aim your wheels straight. It is the only way you can get an accurate measurement.
1. Get a ratchet strap. If you don't have one, you need one and you'll have other uses for it anyway. Drink a beer.
2. Attach the trac bar to the frame but leave the axle end loose. Drink a beer.
3. Wrap the strap around your frame where the trac bar attaches and the other end around the tire that is sticking further out. Drink a beer.
4. Tighten the ratchet strap. As you do, it will pull the body toward the center of the axle. Drink a beer.
5. When the body is perfectly centered over the axle, adjust your bar to fit the axle bracket and install the trac bar to the axle. Drink a beer.
6. You will need to adjust the drag ling to get your steering wheel straight. If you drank a beer at each step, I would suggest road testing later.
