not necessarily. if your brackets came with your kit, they were probably made specifically for it and are doing a good job of recentering your axles. if not, your axles might still be a bit off and adjustable track bars would get you to where you want them to be.

I say JKS adjustable trackbars. They have rubber bushings similar to OEM which equate to a nice quiet "squeak free" ride.

I have the 3" TF and the HD trackbar and they work well together. I think now they recommend it for the 3 kit, so youll be fine with it.

I love the TF HD front track bar. It is a massisve hunk of forged steel and has been flattend near the front diff to provide more clearance. It may be the most impressive component on my lift. It looks like you could run it on a dump truck.

It is super quiet and super stong. Very good component

Highly recommend.

Yea love the Teraflex 3" and Hd bar, I did get a little rubbing at full flex with my 35's and 4.5 back spacing, it took a chuck of my tire on a turn for one of my famous flats, but I think the problem is fixed now. I still wouldnt go with anything else. the TF customer service is tops.

We bought the JKS from you based on your recommendation. So far so good, plus it's alot cheaper than the Teraflex one.

Default How does re-centering affect ride?

I have been running a 3" lift with a rear track bar bracket and no track bar mods up front. My front axle is visibly off-center, about 1-1.5". I have a JKS front adjustable track bar ready to install. Can someone clearly state the drivability issues caused by off-center axles (front and rear), aside from aesthetics. BTW, I would describe my steering as "flighty" in the current configuration. Thanks.
