Adjustable track bar?

[KevinWatts]

My friend just put a 2 or 3" lift on and now the front axle sticks out to one side. Is anyone making an adjustable track bar, or are you redrilling the mounting hole or what. It looks horrible like it is.



Thanks,

Kevin

Thuren makes 1 and is also available through Carli suspension.

Just make sure when the suspension compresses it doesn't miss the bump stop with the longer arm. It will look nicer at rest but may not function correctly.

From what I can see on mine there's plenty of room. The bar only has to be less than an inch longer. That shouldn't be an issue though if the lift is done right. Don't they extend the bumps down the same amount as the spacers??? Otherwise you have springs overcompressing and shocks bottoming out.



I also question the functionality of not having the axle recentered under the vehicle. It seems like it would throw the steering and alignment geometry off by having the front and rear axles not following the same path "dogtracking".



Thanks Bob for the sources.

That would be the ideal thing to do but from what I have read most don't.

IMO with a 2" spacer its not as bad having the axle like that as missing a bump stop would be. I suppose it comes down to how hard you drive and if it would be an issue or or not.
