Installing JKS ADJ trackbar

If I have 3" of lift in the front and Im going to install a JKS Adjustable trackbar on my wj Where should I start? 1/2 inch longer than stock? Just looking for a starting point!

same here...i got it mostly for the fact that it is thicker than stock...but might as well take advantage of the adjusting application as well

when i swapped out my t-bar i took off my old one and had someone push my jeep to one side or another and i measured with my wheels straight from the middle of the tire to a common point on each inner fender to center it, doesnt need to be exact, measure from eye to eye and install the t-bar. measure again and adjust accordingly. i was lucky i got the front exact on the first try, the rear was a different story though. within 1/4" difference in measurements is ok.

5/8" is what mine was off with the 3" iro springs.Just make sure your frame side holes are not oblonged and torque the piss out of it,but not BuBBa tight like I did and broke the stock bolt pretty easy,85ft/lbs should do it according to the book.I found out that the JKS bushings are really soft and allow some movement so deal with the movement or spend $40+ on a kevins bushing that should of been put in from JKS instead of the softer one from the start.

Bounce the suspension by jerking the steering wheel back and forth without the track bar in, dont go too far just shortly to the left and right...it should center itself pretty good that you wont need to push it all that much. Just thread out the trackbar until the bolt hole matches up and the axle looks centered.
