Default 2.5" Lift Adjustment questions

Hey guys, I really appreciate your site but am new since I just inherited my wife's 99 XJ after the in-laws backed into it and had to buy her a car....

I installed the old man emu 2.5" ultimate kit from DPG off-road but have a couple of questions.

What is the minimum difference in axle centering for the JKS trackbar? My front axle is 1/4" off center but need advice if that is close enough or needs adjustment.

The front top shock bolts are really tough to tighten due to limited access. How mashed do the rubber cushions need to be? I'm at about 7-8 threads deep as seen in pic

Thanks! Will be happy to answer any questions about difficulty of a newbie putting this kit on myself.

Can't speak to the track bar but when I did my shocks, somewhere in my research it was said to compress the bushing to about the size of the washer. Looking at your pic you could probably tighten it a bit more. IMHO of course...
