Can't get the rear track bar back aligned

(1/2) > >>

So my lift is just a 2" on my tj. The instructions didn't say to disconnect the track bar(?) but in order to get the coil out I needed to.

Anywho now I can't seem to line up the track bar with the hole it needs to go in.

I've let the passenger side down as low as I can (disconnected the shock and sway bar was already off) and jacked up the other side and it's still not enough.

Any ideas

Kanueh:
Try a big ratchet strap to the frame and axle to suck it into place.

Ah that would be way easier than that come-along I couldn't figure out how to attach.

I'll try this first thanks!

Yep that did it. Took two straps but I was able to MacGyver it in the correct way. And the wheels appear to be properly spaced too.

Thanks

For future jobs where you have to take the track bar off, I always put a tie strap on tight before I take it apart.
