no it wont thats what the bracket is for some guys get the axle centerd as best they can and then drill a new hole over to the right of the old one,its not some thing i would do i would get the bar to go back in its factory hole untill i get the relocation bracket or adj bar ,they way you center the axle back under the cab is, with lift kit all installed tires on and xj on ground off any jacks or stands is turn the ignition key on with motor not running and torn the steering wheel cab will move over axle untill you can slide bolt in factory hole
