Default 95 zj track bar set up questions

I plan on installing my rubicon express adjustable track bar tomorrow and was hoping to get some info on jow to set up the correct length. Should I set it up at normal ride height, full droop or compressed? I have roughly 3 inches of lift and 32 if that helps. Please help, any input is greatly appreciated

Adjust it at normal ride height making sure the axle is centered underneath the body, as in both wheels under the fenders the same distance. Then get it aligned so the steering is adjusted correctly.

Once you think it's right, bounce the front end a little so everything normalizes, then check your tire-to-fender distance again before locking the adjustment.

Well I didn't get around to the track bar today I had to drop all four springs and lca's to change the rubber coil pad, isolators, and installed extended brake lines, so tomorrow will all be track bars and alignment and if I can I'm gonna trim my fenders and chop up my front bumper. Thanks for all your info I'll post pics as soon as I get it all finished up
