Default Adjustable Track Bar Question

Hi guys & gals. This is my first post but I have been reading the boards for months.

I have 07 2dr X and just purchased the TF 2.5 coil lift. I was wondering if I should put adjustable track bars in when I install the lift?

Thanks for all the great info on here! So far you guys have helped me pick my 35s (duratracs), i purchased wheels from the for sale section and choose my lift kit. now I just have to sell my current wheels and tires lol

In a word...yes, although the 2.5" coil lift should come with a rear track bar relocation bracket, so you're good in the rear. but I would recommend a front adjustable track bar to re-center your front axle.

I have that lift. It includes a bracket for the rear so you don't need a rear adjustable trackbar to center the axle. My lift didn't include anything to address the front trackbar so I purchased a front adjustable trackbar with my lift. I would recommend the same to you.

Yeah, if you want to do it right the first time, get an adjustable front trackbar and a new steering stabilizer. The stock stabilizers don't have the greatest track record.

Thanks for the input. I already changed to Bilstein steering stabilizer a few months ago so im good with that.

Any particular front track bar?

I prefer JKS... I have their trackbars for the front and the rear.

X2 on the JKS. I just put one on this weekend and it's pretty beefy. It's nice to get that front axle dialed in.

There's nothing wrong with the factory steering stabilizer. In fact, if your suspension is right, you can ride without one. The factory one is fine until you bash it on rocks.

Thanks for the info about the steering stabilizer .....I had issues so my husband changed it.

I will contact the Rep, what is their user name on the forum?
