Default Help w/lift after install

I just finished with the install of a 5.5" Rubicon Express long arm lift AND an Iron Rock Off Road dana 30 truss. I lowered to the ground to adjust and tighten nuts and bolts and the differential is now off center to the left. I left the top of the track bar unbolted thinking this might hinder the centering process once on the ground. All nuts and bolts are currently hand tight. Any advise helping to center will be appreciated and thanks for being kind to an old man.


Springs bow forward before drop and half this bow after drop.

Alright, I secured an eye bolt in the wall next to the left fender and attached a come along to the eye bolt and to the drivers side frame and winched it over until the springs had no side bend. I attached the track bar and things are good. Now I just have to extend the long arms to take the forward bend out. Hopefully this works.
