Bear with me I'm new to the world of axles and steering. The track bar is too far to the right to bolt on, and turning the wheel wont move the bar will it? So how do I move the bar to the left?

Ya it will move the track bar. It doesn't really make sense till you get under the jeep and do it lol. You have it disconnected at the axle right?

Takes a few seconds, but you need two people. Have your friend or sweetie turn the steering wheel slowly while you line up the bolt holes from underneath. Assuming pittman arm is connected to steering box.

Zombie, the track bar is what keeps the axle centered left/right under the Jeep. If the it is attached at the axle side AND the body side, it will not move on flat ground. If it is only attached at one side, turning the wheel will move the body left/right over the axle.

Looking at the KC Daylighters how big is the difference between the 100w Long range lights and the 130w Long range ones.

No plan just took mine apart and cleaned and painted it. Looks really good. Just wondering if it's a good axle
