Track bar issue?
I changed out my front springs awhile ago and recently pulled off the track bar and replaced the bushings with Energy suspension bushings.
Today I noticed that the Ex is sitting a bit low on the drivers side. I measured from the bottom of the fender to the ground, drivers side 40 inches, passenger side 40 1/2 inches.
It was really hard getting the track bar back in after the bushing change. Would an adjustable track bar fix this?
If not any ideas?
This is for a 2004 Excursion 4x4 with a 6.0. Bilstein shocks, approx 1 1/2 years old
Thanks in advance

With the additional ride height from your X codes your track bar may be slightly too short now forcing the axle and front springs to one side, an adjustable track bar will allow for the needed extra length to let everything settle back to being properly centered.
Having one side vs the other sitting a half inch low is fairly common.
