Oh I love it!! Great job! I actually don't care for the color matched Ford logos (cause I like the blue) so to each his own on that but the other parts sweet!!

That's not possible with a 2.5 inch front lift. At least to my knowledge. I have a 2 inch lift with a relocation bracket and I'm still off a quarter inch. The geometry just doesn't work for what you are describing

Are you running stock wheels or stock offset. Wider & off set wheels will magnify the position. Lets see a pic and your measurements from the ground to the bottom of the fender well center. I only have a 2" lift with 34.3 " tires and I measure 45" front and 45 1/4 rear. Axle is Centered with the Relocation Bracket. Adjustable Track arm is a waste of money.

With my 2 inch front "level" I'm still 1.5 inches higher in the rear.

What makes it right ? The Cost ? The adjustable one only makes the track bar longer/shorter and adds another hime joint. When it actually works better if the Track bar is lowered back to the original angle which is what the Bracket does. Just like the lift kit radius Arms drop brackets do to correct them or the Drop Pitman arms. Been working and owned the largest FE Shop in Va/Md strictly on front ends for 30 years and some of this stuff is too funny. The front end on any truck with a straight Front Axle is gonna be off 1/4 " from the factory, just can't see it with the factory tires/wheel. If it was dead center with the rear you would have Issues.
