Would an adustable track bar fix this?

[blacksmoke94]

The front and rear of my truck are not lined up. The track is a little off. The front end sits a little to the right. On snowy days, there's a lot more snow and grime stuck to the passenger side than the driver side. Drives straight, no pulling. This week, all the tie rod ends are getting replaced and also aligned. I was told there's nothing in that process that will bring the front end back over and that the problem lies in the track bar. Since it's lifted a little (leveling kit only), the stock track bar is too short and that's where the problem is and that I need the drop bracket or an adjustable track bar to push the front end back over where it belongs. Is this good info? I know when I had it aligned a couple of years ago and mentioned this problem to the shop that did the aligning, his plan was to break the rear axle loose and beat it over to get it to track straight. Ummmm.... Needless to say, have never been back there.

I belive sky manufacturing sells an adjustable bar for us. Broncograveyard may also.

Thanks. Yes they do. Just checked it out. Haven't seen that site yet. Was I given correct info? Is that where the problem is? I just read where these trucks could have came from the factory as far as 3/4 of an inch off. haha

An adjustable one will allow you to center the axle. The leveling kit you installed pulled the bar one way

The adjustable trac bar will fix your issuse but be warned that the farther from parrell the tracbar is from the axle and drag link, the worst the bump steer will be.

I would recomend to get the drop bracket first to keep it closer to parrelll and if its still off a bit then get the adjustable bar.

I'd also recomend if your draglink is at an angle to the axle, get a drop pitman arm that'll bring that more parrell, do any/all of this before your alignment.

they don't make a drop just for the leveling kit.
