About a month ago I installed a bilstein 5100 leveling coil and strut along with some 35in nittos. The truck aligned out great other than the axle being offset from not adding an adjustable track bar. I checked it multiple times though out the first few thoughts and miles and nothing changed but just rotated tires and found that coil springs no long seen to be seated in the rubber grommet that keeps the spring oriented, the axle also seems to be sitting so far to the drivers side that the spring on the passenger side is almost touching the frame. I’ve looked around on many other forums and it seemed like everyone had run they’re truck without the upgraded track bars and never had any issues. I had planned on purchasing upgraded track bar when I installed level but couldn’t get one delivered in time and haven’t been able to put one on it yet. I’ve attached a few pictures of the orientation of the springs. Like I mentioned I’ve never heard of anyone having an issue with the spring wanting to fall out of the grommet so any help would be appreciated.

Hello Nate, me personally I would install the adjustable track bar to recenter the axle, reclock both front springs so there are in the stock oem position, and did you adjust the trailing arms to correct the caster ?.
