Adjustable track bars or brackets for 1.5 springs
Getting ready to install some Rock Krawler 1.5 triple rate springs and I have almost all of my parts together for the lift.
I just purchased a TeraFlex Monster rear track bar and was looking at the same for the front.
Do I need a rear, axle side track bar bracket to raise the roll center or am ok with the adjustable track bar only?
Also, if I get the adjustable front track bar. Should I get a synergy style brace to help firm up the front mount axle mount?

Should just install the coils first and see where you are at. I dont know if a rear bracket will hell much at 1.5. Same goes for front, the axles wont be offset all that much.
Your choice on the front brace, is a good idea imo.

Thanks for the response. Probably a good idea to get everything on and then look at the track bars and axle shift.
I just like to do everything right.
I've read that I might get up to 2.5" of lift in the front with the Rock Krawler 1.5 springs. I assume I'll get some axle shift but maybe it won't be much. If it's noticeable I'll be adding adjustable trac bars quickly.

Reinforcing both the axle side and frame side TB bracket up front is always a good idea in general. Even stock vehicles that don't off road experience component wear and loose bolts.....and even a minor case of DW can eat in to the bolt holes on the stock bracketry.
