Driver side tire sticking out further..?

I just noticed my drivers tire is sticking out maybe 1 and a half inches further than my passenger side front tire. I'm assuming this is due to the Kore lift. Will this hurt anything and what do I need to do in order to make them even. I'm thinking new adjustable track bar???
Other than that I'm 100% satified with Kore's setup.

That is VERY bad. You need to take the lift off and send it to me

My guess would be the track bar. Are your springs bowing to the drivers side?

I'm at work now, so I can't really get out there and get a good look... will do later... I'm expecting when I get home to have the dual steering stabilzer on my porch from Carli/Defiant...

Mine is the same way, Not ready to turn loose the money for an adjustable trac bar just yet. Let us know which one you go with?

Yup, like these guys said... the trackbar is now too short because of the lift. The trackbar is what centers the axle and keeps it from moving side to side, and when you lift the truck you muck with the geometry. Mine is about 1/2" off with the 2" spacer in the front. Not that big of a deal and I'm not going to worry about it. You can either get a trackbar drop bracket for the frame, or buy an adjustable trackbar.

Boy, for the money you pay for these things, you'd think Kore would include at least a drop bracket... It doesn't even have to be billet aluminum...

Yeah, I have one of Don Thuren's bars sitting right here (along with his shock towers and King shocks) and its gnarly. Based on the construction alone I recommend it.
