I do know that my axle isn't centered and so the springs and sway bars are at a bit of a angle. I am taking it to a guy mon that said he can custom fab a bracket or somehow extend my track bar so it sits level. I'm hoping that will make it possible to center my axle. he builds rock crawlers and stuff so I hope he knows what he is talking about.

Adjust your trac bar... its probably set at the length for a 5.5" lift, there is a reason when you buy an 8" lift that its not just a 5.5" lift with extra spacers

I can't adjust track bar any more. It's out of threads that's why he says he is going to have to fab something up. Thanx for all the help thoe. Maybe it will work out.

Yeh, it seems to be your track bar. Do you have a drop pitarm arm? That poor lil tie rod end looks like it wants to poop itself attached to your pitarm arm.

I like the BDS track bars for the bigger lifts I do, it uses the steering stab diff mount for the diff and a new bracket on the frame. The stab gets relocated. Bump steer with this for me is minimal.

I have been looking for a longer track bar. I found one from RC that says its for a 6-8" lift for 100$ on eBay. Are they any good. I have the bracket that goes on the frame to drop the TC bar down but the whole set up is for a 5.5 lift and I'm at 8 now. Also has anyone used the tie rod flip bushings. They allow you to flip the tie rods to lesson the angle. Thanx again.
