Default How much would it affect my alignment by.....?

How much would it affect my alignment by removing my 1.25" poly lift spacer (puck) from the front coils on my XJ? I am lifted about 4" in the rear and 5.25" or so in the front. The front is noticeably higher since I thinned the bastard pack in the rear. Im only on 31's and the rear heigh looks perfect. Front not so much The rear rides great and I won't be doing new rear leafs for a while. I love my readjusted bastard pack.

I have had had quite a few alignments on this thing and am trying to avoid that cost if I can. Additionally, I have a RC dropped track at bracket. With this help or hurt my draglink/track bar relationship?

Will removing this definitely affect camber and toe-in?

It will level out the jeep nicely by removing them but I don't want to have to get another alignment (and possible have other issues) by doing it. Thanks guys!!!

Toe will be off and the steering wheel will also be off. It won't affect camber and castor should improve.

Toe being off depends on what steering setup he has honestly... if you have a nice aftermarket one... it'll probably not be off at all, you'll just have to adjust the drag link to center the steering wheel. and the track bar to center the axle.

I have the stock steering set-up (though not affecting the geometry, the GC tie rod end).

How will it affect the trackbar/drag link relation ship? My trackbar/draglink currently looks like this, I am the OP:

The further away from the body you move the axle, the further it shifts to the drivers side... and the closer to the body you move it, the further it shifts to the passenger side. Hence the need for an adjustable track bar.
