Default track bar

Hey I just put in 2" spacers on top of my 3" lift my axle is shifted to the driver side. I assume this is because I need a longer track bar but I'm not sure if thats all I need. It forced me to take off my front sway bar which feels very unstable. I want to know what kind of problems other ran into at 5" and what I need to do

A track bar is a must at 5 inches, your pinion angles are probably off, I would look into new LCA's to push the axle back to the right angle, brakes lines will be on the edge if the limits to name a few.

I was thinking lca's too. So far I've done a transfer case drop. break line extensions (they were like guitar strings). rear sway bar drop brackets becuase it was rubbing on my tires with the blocks. An adjustable track bar will set me straight maybe some LCA's?

I'm also hearing that I can move my track bar 3/4" over. has anyone done this? or is it just worth it to spend the money on an adjustable

I moved mine over about 1/2" to get mine straight after putting in spacers. Been about 3 months and all is well.
