Does an adjustable trackbar still need a relocation bracket

Once again thanks ! You and this forum rock

I just had this discussion with TeraFlex. I lifted 2.5" and do not need the relocation bracket. The rear adjustable trackbar is installed and working fine. It does, however, require that you extend the ball joint further out of the trackbar than you would if you used the relocation bracket. A larger lift would require the bracket because the screw-end connector on the ball joint is not long enough.

Ok... here's what I understand in a few words, correct me if I'm wrong
4inch lift + Trackbar Relocation Bracket + Stock Trackbar = You'll need drop pitman or drag link flip kit
4inch lift + Stock Trackbar Bracket + Adj. Trackbar = No need for pitman and/or draglink flip kit
Am I right??
In conclusion (If I'm right) I DO NOT NEED a drop pitman

The dropped pitman arm and the drag link flip kit attempt to resolve the same issue: making the drag link, track bar and axle as parallel as possible. The dropped pitman arm lowers the steering end of the pitman, while the flip kit raises the steering knuckle end of the drag link. Therefore, you only need to do one or the other. Arguably (to some )the flip kit is slightly better, but they are both effective.
The adjustability of the track bar has almost nothing to do with the relocation brackets. The adjuster on the track bar allows you to adjust the lateral location of the track bar when a lift is installed. The relocation bracket(s) adjust the angle of the track bar so it can be as parallel as possible to the drag link and axle.
The track bar and the drag link should be as parallel and of equal length as possible, so that then the suspension compresses and rebounds, they both move equal amounts radially which avoids suspension induced steering known as bump steer.
BTW, are you able to find parts locally or do you have them shipped from the US?

I think you have the main gist of this thread, but the following details may make it easier to pick the parts you want to add:

1.- Thanks for the explanation
2.- Both ways
locally and shipped 
but parts are a little more pricey here 
, but custom things are cheaper down here... I'm making my rear bumper W/ tire carrier for only 340 USD 
... OK back to the topic

Yes you need both. The trackbar will only recenter the axle. The bracket will correct the geometery and help the handling.
