Trac bar help

[rylee144]

I am installing my lift and needed to drop the trac bar to get my coil on. Now I can't get it back on. How do I pull it over to get the bolt through?

Ratchet strap.

From where to where?

You need to get on one side of the axle by the track bar and the other on the body or another solid surface. Basically just a way to pull the axle back over.

Can you turn the wheel and force the axle to one side, getting it closer?

Or get creative

Got it thanks guys.

Should I get my truck realigned after the install is done?

Yes, your toe has changed.

Thanks again. It's all back together.

How much lift did you install? If you didn't install an adjustable track bar, your front axle is now off center to the chassis. An alignment technician will have lots of fun with that.

3 inches. I did not get a track bar. Someday i will get a beefier one.

If you park it on a flat, level surface and measure carefully, you're going to find that the front axle is now located roughly 3/4 of an inch over to the driver's side of the vehicle.

Very real. My axle was in a huge bind and I couldnt hold it center by myself lol. Once it was centered iwas able to loosen it all up and fix it

Gothca, I've just never seen someone do it that way. I've always just put on side on the coil bucket and the other either on the car lift or wrapped around something on the unibody.
