there are several threads on this... my experience:

1) Got 1.5" spacers prior, so I dont know if I needed them or not - but at full lock (turning wheel to the left in reverse, particularly) still some rubbing. running 34's on rubi 17's. I think you need them unless you are running stock tires - and I don't recommend it. looks funny. ;-)

2) You don't need to address the rear trackbar situation - unless you mind your axle offset by ~5/8 of an inch to the right, and going a little sideways. I opted for the full traction adjustable. easy install, steering wheel is mostly straight now and it's a little better mannered. i am not qualified to address the question of bump steer - but it seems good to me.

My suggestion: adjustable trackbar or bracket in order to reduce tire wear and improve manners a bit. Spacers, because rubbing sounds bad.

The BDS is well done and for the price I would recommend it. The angles look much better in my opinion.
