If i could get a good deal on the lift, i may do the trackbar also. Im just looking later on down the road when i eventually do 37's or something.

You want a trackbar to recenter you axle, regardless of what sized tires you run

Like Manoj said, you can get away with a drop bracket (which I don't think the TF kit even has anyway)... but there are major cons to those... best to just get the adjustable track bar, get your axle centered, and have a Jeep that driver's good on the highway

Alright so i will try and get a good price on that too with the lift...cause I want the lift to be as reliable as possible. that way my dad cant say the "i told you so"

Talking of which, I owe Mean.Green something for the shocks and coils

With my TF 2.5 coil lift, when I was running the stock 32" rubi tires, no front adjust trackbar or bracket and axle was a little off but not a problem, went to 35s, still not a problem, had a wreck and had the rear go off center a little the opposite way, and bam, death wobble. Installed the TF front and rear adjustable trackbars and then death wobble went away.

So even with 35s with that lift it is quite possible to run without the trackbar for at least a while (as long as you don't get hit and have the rear out).
