Is it the stock trackbar?

If it adjustable track bar, then measuring the distance between the center of the wheel and the fenderwell on both sides should give you the correct measurement

Find a flat surface, undo the track bar, wiggle the vehicle back and forth, adjust to fit and reinstall. Worked fine for me multiple times, but im sure its not accurate to the T.

Once you take the tracbar off, there are a couple of ways to center the vehicle. 1. Have a couple guys push the jeep till it looks centered and then measure the new distance you have to make the tracbar. 2. Use a winch or even a large ratchet strap hooked to a tree and pull it side ways. 3. Use your steering wheel and turn it back and forth to align it (usefull for putting the tracbar back on). Hope this helps.

With that much lift you're probably going to need a new track bar

Agree.

Just pull the axle bolt, bounce the front end a few times and let it settle, then adjust the trackbar so you can reinstall the bolt.

Drive it and re-check, if it isn't set to your satisfaction, repeat the procedure.

i did mine the way you guys said by wiggling the wheel back and forth. my axle is centered correctly but when i turn the wheel the body moves alot. it did this before i got the adjustable trac bar too. any siggestions? 1996 xj 3inch rough country lift with adj LCA and trac bar
