track bar relocation bracket

since my leveling kit install, d/s tires stick out an inch or two more than the p/s. the track bar brkt evidently fixes this.
Ford Miscellaneous - 2005-2007 Ford F250/F350 4wd - Track bar bracket 2" to 2.5" by Tuff Country # 22971

any one use this or a similar bracket?

it doesnt really bother me now the way the truck sits, so ya think its ok if i dont get one?

thawts appreciated

you should buy an adjustible tract bar, this way the alligment shop can get your front axle back to center where it should be. if you leave it that way it will be putting huge amounts of pressure on the brackets wearing them out fast, plus the bushings in the control arms will be pushing side ways from it. all in all no i wouldnt leave it like that on my truck but its not my truck so...

I have the same problem stumpbuster, but mine sticks out more on the drivers side. I would like to fix this too.

yes and no, it will help but you'll never get the axle centered right. dependingon engineweight, front springs etc the axle will always be off some with just a drop bracket. thats why the adjustible bars are soooo much better. my dads 2000 F350 was pulled to the drivers side after the level springs were put on, after a few years the springs settled and now its off to the passenger side now. so when i put new springs under it this summer i also installed a zone adjustible tract bar so we had it alligned and now its perfectly centered under the truck. I also did this on my 2004 F350 and its now centered also. Before my dads 2000 was all over the road and i say its because of the axle being off center causing a crab walk effect, now its straight again with no weird road manners.
