Track bar is not a steering component, it’s axle positioning.
Correct, with more space between the axle and frame, the track bar rotation will pull the axle towards the drivers side. Actually any change in this spacing should require a change in length, longer. If not done, the axle is moved and the steering will need to be adjusted as it will be pointing slightly to the pass side.
If equipped with a radius arm its anchor point should also change, otherwise the caster changes. But caster and camber are adjustable on 4x4 by means of the top balljoint sleeve. So it can be possible with a minor lift to correct caster without changing the radius arm anchor.
Leaf springed vehicles dont have the radius arm worry.

Old Thread, but I just purchased a '16 F350 last night. Is the bilstein kit working out? Any Pros or Cons? I see that Sarge was able to get everything aligned without the adjustable track bar, but is that the case for everyone? Sarge, any issues arise from the lack of the adjustable track bar?
Thanks.
Thanks.
