Default Lift help needed!

Okay so I'm lifting my current xj, a '00 sport 4wd 4.5 inches on 33's. Alright so my question is I know that after installing the new adjustable track bar and bracket I'll have to get the front end aligned with the rear, but what about toe, if I already have a good toe set will the wider wheels and tires be affected by that? Because if not I plan to do the track bar myself and call it a day. Thanks

Toe can be set by yourself with a tape measure. Rims and tires will not effect toe.

Setting toe is part of an alignment. Track bar will not affect toe. If you're swapping the track bar, just adjust it to center the axle. Not sure exactly what you're after....

Toe shouldnt be affected but steering wheel orientation will. Adjust this with your drag link. You should seriously consider having an alignment check and printout done though. Usually free. You can use that to make adjustments yourself if you know what you are doing or can follow online instructions.

I hope that's not all your planning on adding for a 4 1/2" lift is an adj. track bar. There are a lot of other things involved and money to do it properly one an SYE and driveshaft one of the cheaper ones.

My last jeep which got totaled, had this exact setup with no problems at all. I have rear wedges on the axles for a better pinion angle.full leafs too in rear. And upper and lower CA's with the adj track bar and bracket, springs and shocks up front.
