I have a 2021 Jeep Gladiator overland that I am putting a 2.5 inch leveling.kit on and I bought a Adjustmental track bar but I have no Idea how long it should be. Does anyone have a measurement that would get me close to where I need to be?

Measure between the 2 mounting points after installed the lift.

I assume you meant adjustable?

Clayton says 34 1/8" for a 2.5" lift for a starting point. However, as @Vtur said, use a ratchet strap (one end on the axle, the other on the frame) and pull the frame either left or right over the front axle until your tires have even poke on either side. Measure on center of the bolt holes and set your track bar. Fine tune from there. Works for front or rear.

When I put my lift on, I saved the track bar installation for last thing. The axle centered itself after I bounced the suspension a couple of times by pressing on the front bumper. I then installed the track bar, putting the non-adjustable end on first and then turning the adjustable end until it was a no interference fit to put in the final bolt.

After you install the lift kit, take the measurements from the stock trackbar and add that to the new tb, then adjust the new tb to center the axle. That's how I've been doing it all these years and I never had any issues, but I could be wrong.
