Default Adj. trackbars and quick disconects....should I?

My 2.5 TeraFlex BB will be here this week and getting installed on Friday.

After reading pages and pages of threads, would it be a good idea to get both front and rear track bars now and have them installed with the kit?
I've read and have seen pic.s about the axles shifting slightly with the lift.

My next question is should I go ahead and get the quick disconects installed also?

I'm looking at TeraFlex track bars
Which are better, TeraFlex quick disconects or SkyJacker's?

Thanks in advance

by the time you do all of this, you could almost get a coil lift like the FT 3" Econo and possibly save some money down the road. if i were you, i would think about this. but hey this is your rig and do whatever you like.

personally, i ordered the econo w/ a front trackbar for now, and will be slowly adding pieces until i feel it is no longer neccessary too.

Thanks for the reply.

Since this is my daily driver, I really don't want to go over 2.5" with my 33's. Plus the kit was already ordered.

For budget purposes, would the SkyJacker front trackbar bracket ($33.99) be a better option, to center things up?

Thanks

if you search around you will see the SJ brackets have had some breakage issues, sot sure if this is the same bracket though.

also, lots of guys are running 3" and 33 as daily drivers. plus, it gives you the option down the road of going bigger!!

Yes I've read around about the bracket. I'm pretty sure it's the rear bracket that's been having the issues.

I've yet to see any mention(positive or negative) about the front bracket.

Your other points are well taken

it's skyjackers front bracket that's having issues. it was breaking mounts. they are addressing it now, but i don't know if the new one is available yet. an adj. front track bar is better at any rate, but you can get away with a bracket for the rear. as far as discos go, i had rubicon express on my TJ (the Gen2's) and i loved them.

or you can make your own discos.

This is incorrect. IT's Skyjacker's REAR bracket that has been having issues.

Ditto. it is the REAR bracket that has been causing the issues. NOT the front.
