Front trackbar is a great addition as well as some front lower control arms like others have said.

My question is about the front lower control arms. Do I really need to add them? What happens if I don't install them. Which brand do you guys suggest. Hopefully its not too expensive. Thanks.
you do not have to install front lower control arms. but your front end can not be properly aligned without them. The flighty feeling you get at high speeds is because of improper caster angle. The higher the lift the worse it will be.

Have an ome hd lift netting about 3inches. Had already f and r adjust tracks. But, after a few months, just today put in jksnadj front lcas. Wow - cant believe the difference. Wish had done it sooner. Improves hi and lo speed driving/tracking plus improved braking (less pitch). Must have with lift over 2 inches

I went with the Teraflex HD adj front track bar on my 2.5" lift and could not be happier. This thing is beefy!
