No I got it makes sense I was pretty sure the axle couldn't be aligned just wanted to make sure. I didn't however know why it was but I do now thanks bro. Just another good excuse to get the SL when there done messing with it.

Couldn't have said it any better myself.
On my XJ the bracket was big enough where I could drill a new hole to re-center the front axle..... but I ended up just buying an adjustable trac bar for it since I'm a bit OCD and wanted It "perfect".
So out of curiosity for those of us (me) who don't have as much mod experience, does the fact that the axle is in a different place affect or change anything? It sounds like this would create a slightly sideways motion of the tire against the ground causing increased tire wear?
The best things in life can not be found on a map; they can only be found while Wandering.

Its harmless at the level we're at with 2" spacers. If you go much higher you'll start wearing out radius arm bushings from the lateral load. Won't get increased tire wear though. Might also look funny from the rear if the axle is a full 1-2 inches out of position..... like its crab walking down the street.
