Default Adj track bars

I've researched this and cannot find a straight answer anywhere. I have a 2.5" Teraflex BB lift, do I have to get adjustable trackbars front & rear? Do I only need the rear or do I not need any? My JK is my DD and I put about 40k miles per year on my cars. I don't plan on any crazy trail rides just some mild wheeling.

Thanks

I am by no means an expert, but what I can tell you is that when you put that lift on you pushed your front axle to the left and rear axle to the right. What this means in terms of wear and tear is extra wear on most everything on your suspension. Anything crippling? Probably not, but with 40k a year I would make the investment, but that's just my 2 cents!

with just 2.5" of lift, you really don't "need" to install a set of adjustable track bars but, without them, your axles will be off center. up front, it will be off to the driver side and vice versa in the rear. if you installed a track bar relocation bracket in the rear (as many kits come with one), your axle will be pretty close to center there but, up front, if you want to center it, you will need to get an adjustable track bar.
