Its probably the track bar thats keeping it from moving over.My kit came with an adjustable track bar lowering bracket.You can buy a adjustable track bar and replace yours with that.

i actually finished it at a bout 12:30 today.... i didnt remove the track bar b.c i just was lazy. so i relized that it was the issue and did eventually. but i did the drivers side with it attached and its a B*** so remove it... My only complaint is the kit that i had the u bolts and centering bolts are kinda crapypy. i had to re thread one of the centering bolts and the u bolts are REALLY hard to tighten down. i didnt mess the threads up.. It just sucked. but now that its done Im happy and it looks good.. I also installed skyjacker nitro 8000 shocks.. They look great and ride really nice.

You should have the alignment checked by someone that knows how to do a proper alignment job[check caster/camber and toe].
