m a b,

Get your self a punch, with a bit of length, place it in the hole..

As Joe already mentioned, put the jack stands under the frame, and then jack up on the axle a little, stop right before you start to unload the frame from the jackstands.

The hole should be about lined up, IF not, use the punch, to manipulate it a little, pushing the bolt in through the other side.

You could also have someone push on the left side of the axle, pushing to the right. It is possible that the whole things just shifted a little. They are bushings in there, use'em <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

Yes, your axle would be shifted a little to the right, it the trac-bar is the same length. Thats peanuts... The trac-bars primary job, is to keep the axle located laterally in a link style suspension(2nd gen rodeos/amigos, and troopers), to eliminate the sway/wandering of that axle in these types of suspensions.

Wont provide you with any issues, and like Smiley said(in one of the shortest posts, I haev ever seen under his name <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />), unless you are supremely anal, about miniscule details, you will never notice.

BTW, who made that bumper for ya???? I like...
