I just had the 2" Mopar Lift done with 35" Toyo Open Country ATs. The front driver side tire is not aligned with the passenger side tire. I'm going back to the dealer to have it corrected, but I want to have an idea of what the issue is before going in. I have very limited mechanical knowledge and could use some of the more experienced folk's advice. Could someone let me know what you think the issue is? Pic attached. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick reply. This makes sense. I appreciate it.
Just a heads up or note for you, the dealership will only tell you that you will need the track bar. Mopar doesn't make one that I am aware of.

Yeah, when I went in yesterday they said it is normal after a lift and was within their spec. I'm probably just going to order an adjustable track bar and have them put it on while they're doing the TSB steering replacement. Any suggestions on the best option for the adjustable track bar?

@brog While I haven't lifted mine yet (it's in the Garage) I bought the Yeti XD. It maybe overkill for what I plan for off-roading. It is a sturdy and heavy piece. There are a lot of aftermarket options out there.

I like the Synergy personally.

Just get one that you don’t have to remove to adjust And has the offset angle engineered into the bar so you don’t have to figure it out.

That was one I've been looking at today. I would just need the front track bar, right?

you could easily add one yourself. If you want a good one there are plenty on the market. I have a synergy front and rough country rear on my gladiator, both are really good. On my JL I have a steersmarts front track bar and synergy rear.

technically you need front and rear. both your axles are off from the lift, measure from the frame to the edge of the tire, youll see that the rear is off too.
