Default Adjustable Track Bar

I have a 2012 JKU with 3" level kit. It did not come with a new front track bar. Would I notice any difference if I install a new adjustable one. Also should the rear be changed too?

adjustable is the way to go.....did your kit not come with a rear track bar relocation bracket?

The two best options I would recommend is the JKS

JKS Jeep JK Front Adjustable Track Bar (OGS121)

Or the Teraflex HD trackbar

Tera Flex JK HD Forged Front Adjustable Trackbar (1753418)

id be curious...on your results -

i installed the TF boost/level kit (front & rear), and then took my wrangler in for alignment....the thrust angle was pretty far out....
our jeep (manual trans) has had a noticeable "torque" steer since day one...shifting gears really exhibits the issue (on & off the throttle).

im still wondering if the thrust angle was properly set at the factory (although the jeep tracked and stopped straight, in its stock form).

I had the angle rest and the "torque steer" went away almost completely (im still considering if i should install adjustable track bars front & rear).

You should measure and see how far offcenter the axles are and see if u need adjustables.
I have the jks and they work great.

I also have the JKS front TB. I did this so that the track bar would play nice with the JKS sector shaft brace kit.

As per the previous response, measure the space on each side, to see how far off your axle is. After a 2.5 TFI coil lift with a 1/2 inch spacer, mine was offset about 3/4 inch to one side. Easy peasey adjustment to get it lined up perfectly.

Good luck with your build.
