Sorry about the last post I forgot you're the OP, well the track bar holds the axle to where it should be, once the body is higher the track bar moves the axle to the left. You'll notice the difference once you get it back on ground. You will need to either move the bolt or get an adjustable. Here's a link to how to relocate the mount, but instead of inventing some device like he did just drive back and forth a couple feet in order the line up the axle (I didn't do that sadly)

I was told after that I should of unbolted it, drove it back and forth to center the axle and drill where the track bar rested after that, at worst go from the opposite edge of the current hole I believe
