I don't notice any pulling to the right, it tracks as straight as it did before the lift. Guess if you want you could go ahead and put that track bar relocation bracket on just to be safe. I do plan on installing extended swaybar links, drop brackets for the brake cables and eventually either an adjustable track bar or the bracket.

Would have voted for the Black Diamond. Mostly a quality lift with a great ride. My rear springs sagged excessively, the right far more than the left (1"). The Black Diamond front went up a solid 4.5" and stayed there in that neighborhood, even after putting on the Shrockworks bumper. Superlift is going to warranty the rear springs with their 4", so I guess it doesn't fall into the 3" category any more.
