Just wondering what's the reccomendation is for adding a trackbar with X amount of lift. May add a 2.5in lift and was just wondering.

To get the correct geometry u need an adjustable track bar after any lift.....BUT with u only doing a 2.5 u won't notice a difference leaving the stock one in.
Some/most lifts come with relocation brackets

I kept my stock track on my last 2.5" lift and never had any issues. Also the stock steering stabilizer was better than the bilstein I added later

I have the bracket in the rear, but still have stock track bar in the front. Planned on replacing right away, but I really don't think there's a need to with 2.5 lifts.
