Well I just went out to the garage and turned the steering wheel and instantly fixes it the problem. Thanks for the input guys.

Kind of off topic but I finished the bar install and the axle is perfectly centered....well within an 1/8th of an inch. The Jeep still seems to lean slightly to the passenger side? I figured the adjustable tracbar would have cured this but I guess not, anybody have this problem?

the back end of it mainly? seen it a few times and i think its just from the torque and over time it makes the passenger leaf sag more. not sure if this is completely accurate, maybe someone will confirm/deny

Well it definitely sits lower in the front as well, just a slight lean. I am guessing it is the springs as well since it is amplified when I have a passenger or extra weight in the jeep.

most likely the springs like your saying. the trackbar just keeps the axle centered, not anything with the height or a lean

Well previously the factory trac bar being too short had the axle pulled to the drivers side and created a more significant lean than what it has now.
