Default Adjustable Front Track Bar next purchase???

Question.... I have a 4" Pro Comp Lift along with coil spacers which gave me a total of 5.25" of lift. Once I install the front and rear bumper and all the goodies I'm sure it will go down from there.

The problem I have is the lift didnt come with a front track bar replacment or relocation bracket. The front axle is visibley sitting more towards the drivers side (maybe by 2" +/-). I plan to upgrade all of the control arms with adjustable ones in the near future however is the best next purchse for me a adjustable front Track bar to realign the axle?

I was planning on buying a Teraflex HD model.

If you are planning on getting an armored diff cover, make sure the TB will clear. My Full traction TB did not appear to clear my riddler diff cover. JKS track bars have lots more room - what I use now.

edited to say: the clearance issue was up front. FT works just fine in the rear.

I would say yes, the adj. trac bar would be a good decision.

I have front and rear riddler covers. The JKS isn't installed on the front yet but it appears that there will be plenty of room. I have a Full Traction rear trac bar and there is plenty of room there too.

I wasnt planning on installing diff covers, just some diff guards. Any suggestions on which trackbar to get?

My only experience is with the JKS and the FT. I can say that I'll be removing my FT and replacing it with a JKS bar. The Teraflex seems to be pretty good too.

I just took a look at my new Terflex HD front track bar that arrived today. That is one beefy piece of hardware! Question - Rubber bushings on both ends, so no need to grease anything right? Just noticed that the older style bar had grease fittings on both ends.

Thanks!

I'm a little confused on the adj trac bar situation
I have the front and rear relocation brackets for the trac bars,so should I still need to upgrade them?

X2 on the Teraflex adjustable front track bar. That thing is so beefy it was a bit difficult to hold it up while bolting it on. Heavy, forged beast, which is a very good thing in a track bar to keep the death wobble away.
