Adj Track Bars/Axle Centering

If I lift my Jeep 4" will the axles, front and rear, be shifted enough that I shouldn't drive it until re-centered? I'm wondering if I'll need adj front and rear track bars at the time of lift install, or if I can get one or the other (front or rear) first and then the other a month or so later.

TIA

When you install new track bars how do you know how much to adjust them? Is it in the instructions or do you install it bounce the Jeep a little and see where it settles then make adjustments?

The axle needs to be centered. Pick similar spots on both sides of the frame and make both dimensions similar.

Will the vehicle settle, or self-adjust some, causing the adjustment to be off and need to be readjusted after the first 50 miles or something? What about shocks, would the part numbers be easier to read with the axles shifted
