Different trucks, but I had an alignment shop do a 4 wheel alignment after I leveled my truck. That should tell you if your front axle is shifted.
Mine was off a little. I removed the bracket and got an adjustable bar. We then set it back to near factory spec (caster was a smidgen off)

 

So the shop that did the lift told me "you don't use an adjustable trac bar with the trac bar drop bracket" so i had them put the stock trac bar bracket in with the adjustable trac bar, then they came back and said "the adjustable trac bar won't work with the stock trac bar bracket because it's hitting the pitman arm"

So what's the solution then? Lol

6 inch lift and the front end is over to the passenger side like an inch or so (I think) unless my frame is bent or something and I'm just imagining things.

I guess if it drives straight and true does that mean I have no issue and should continue on?

Appreciate your input, thanks for your response

 

It should be one or the other.

Do you have a drop pitman arm?

Do you have a drop pitman arm?

Yes it has one, they marked it with a paint pen after they torqued it. I told them, put the stock trac bar bracket back and then lengthen the adjustable trac bar and then do an alignment.

I left the truck there to go tend to other business, and when I got back the truck was parked in their parking lot with the stock bar back on it.

I went inside, im like "the hell is going on, why you guys put the stock trac bar back on" they said the adjustable trac bar was hitting the pitman arm with the stock track bar bracket.

So they reinstalled the trac bar drop bracket with the stock trac bar back on. It was previously with the drop bracket AND an adjustable trac bar. Now it's just back to drop bracket and stock trac bar.

They said the front end is centered, and they did an alignment. But I think they just said that to get me out of the shop, cause I'm looking at it, and one tire sticks out more than the other side.

Unless it is in fact centered and it's been like that since I owned the truck and never noticed until I actually took a gander at it.

It drives beautifully, so maybe they're right and I'm imagining things? It's center and basically that all she wrote?

 

It is probably center, but by the pics, if it's going one way, it's going passenger side more. Which would honestly mean the trac bar is too long. Maybe they realized that too and the adjustable bar didn't shorten enough, I would've kept the adjustable and ditched the relocation bracket all together if it was mine.

But you won't have any issues.

 

If it were me and my OCD, I'd take it to another alignment shop to be sure. Explain exactly what you want checked.

 

When the body goes up, the distance between centers increases. That can be compensated by a dropped bracket OR and adjustable attaching point OR both together.
The shop should have been able to provide a print out of work done prior to and after adjustments. A tape measure and plumbs bobs with datums on a level the driveway works too.

 

It’s RC. That’s the real low end of the spectrum so if you have ocd about the alignment I guess it only kicked in after brand shopping. Your saying the adjustable track bar fully closed is longer than the stock bar? That’s not great. Again RC… I’d get a different adjustable track bar and crank it whereever it needs to be to center axle. The alignment won’t change (toe/caster/camber) but it moves your steer wheel position. You adjust that with the collar. It looks like the pitman arm maybe is for an 8” kit. This all came in one kit? I’d check the part numbers see if they different. Normally drop bracket and pitman arm are for 4-6” or 8”. A different adjustable track bar is probably what you need. But the pitman arm is long and the more those two bars are off angle the more bumpsteer your going to see in the steer wheel.

 

Yeah pitman arm drop looks big. And ditch the upper steering dampener. You have dual already, no need for both. If the proper drop bracket and stock Trac bar are there, there is no need for adjustable. I know a few mechanics who have ditched the adjustable for the stock due to cost of replacing them, $400 vs 150... if the axle isn't centered it's because the bracket isn't correct for the lift. As mentioned, RC lift isn't the highest quality. You get what you pay for.

 

Appreciate the input, what's the worst that can happen if i leave it like that?

Drives absolutely mint, no bump steer or sway or anything, drives straight and true.

 

Rough Country is not my kind of company
dealing with them on a defective item and having a bad time plus they selectively choose feedback on their products so you can’t see anything but sunshine

that being said with a 6”
I would have a drop pitman and track bar bracket

then since all lifts can settle differently with various trucks if your front axle is not centered you buy the appropriate adjustable track bar
