Do I "NEED" an adj Track bar with a 2.5" BB?
I can't tell you if you need one or not, but i bought one for the front and a BDS drop bracket for the rear, and my 2 door drives great with no issues at all. But i am very picky about how my Jeep looks and it would of bugged the hell out of me knowing that the axles would not a been centered after the install of the lift. Even though nobody else would of probably known. But that is just me. I have read both ways-some people say no and some people have had issues with not putting one on. I just did not want to take the chance. It did end up costing me about $230 more to do this though. By the way, i have the teraflex 2.5 lift.

For a lift this small, no, you will not need one. In fact, depending on which track bar you were to get, installing one could actually cause your axle to shift in the other direction as some have a minimum setting longer than you need. This is true of drop brackets as well. If you do not get one made for the amount of height you just lifted your Jeep, you could still have a shift in your axle - just the other way. Not that this is a problem per se, but it does essentially defeat the purpose.
I did the BDS bracket on the rear after the 2.5" lift, I guess I am half picky. The front doesn't bother me, I don't notice a difference. Should I start walking outside and noticing it one way or the other, I would probably put an adjustable track bar on it. Which did you use, and where did you purchase from? Down the road I may put the 3/4" spacers up front to offset winch, and I may at that time look at an adjustable track bar...
Thanks.
Thanks.
Know one I ride with or even my wife noticed it unless I pointed it out.
