Rear Track bar adjustment

[AC77]

Hello, i know there is posts or videos about how to adjust the rear track bar, can someone chime in please ?
I am aware that in order to move the rear axle/frame a ratchet strap needs to be used, but where do i hook it up ?

Thanks

You don’t have to use a ratchet strap normally. Offer someone walking by a beer and have them push on the side of the Jeep.

I like to put a jack on the frame rail and just raise the frame until the holes line up for you. Then you don’t have to give away beer to a stranger ?

measure how much it is off side to side and divide that by half as your starting point. then as was said when you go to put it in have someone push on the side of your jeep. if you use a ratchet hook it to the frame and to the axle ie lower shock mount and upper frame by bumper. are you using a raised track bar mount?

I don’t use ratchet straps, I just lay on my back and push the frame over with my feet….

Usually, my wife wants more "payment" than a beer, if you know what I mean.

at 3" i would invest in a raised track bar bracket. it is one of those things that once you have one you feel the difference if you dive fast on road
