Track Bar options?

Hi all,<br><br>If I've read all the posts right, it sounds like the front axle moves about 1/4&quot; to the drivers side after installing the 2&quot; coil spacers.<br><br>My question is this: What options are there for either correcting this (i.e. new track bar, extensions, moving parts, etc) or for accounting for it (i.e. wheel spacers, etc)<br><br>Anyone addressed this on their truck?<br><br>Anyone care about 1/4&quot; difference between front &amp; rear axles?<br><br>Thanks for your help,<br><br>Guy

Re:Track Bar options?

I have 0 experience with track bars as I don't have one...yet however I ran across an adjustable track bar somewhere in a post. It was made to compensate for lift kits. I can't find it now but I'll keep looking.

Re:Track Bar options?

thanks for the help, guys - it's much appreciated.<br><br>I haven't settled on what to do yet, but I tried my new tires on &amp; I definitely have to lift the front end... Probably would have anyway, though.<br><br>Guy
