XJ Lift Question

Well what I mean is put the lift on set it down on the ground then turned the steering wheel back and forth a little then jack up the front end a few inches and dropped the jack real quick to bounce and settle the suspension, then I rocked the the jeep back and forth a bit then pushed up and down on the bumper, all to try to get the axle to naturally settle under the Jeep. Then i mounted the axle end of the track bar, but at the shortest length the frame end ball joint stud would go in vertical but I could get it in at an angle. So I jacked up the Jeep, supported the frame and drooped the axle a tad to mimic a slightly taller lift and get the ball joint stud in straight. I tightened it down and I figure all this will do is shift the axle off center a little less than half and inch and maybe wear the track bar ball joint out a little faster, but I am not planning on a lot of off road so I don't think it is a real big deal.

Come to find out, I just spoke to a technician at Rusty's, I probably need to center the Jeep using the Steering wheel and I may need to remove the jam nut from the track bar to make it fit properly. That will probably solve my problems altogether.

I just don't like breaking parts and scratching my Jeep, hahaha. I know what you are thinking, Whhaaaaaaahhh! Suck it up right, I know I know.
