Sorry to revive somewhat of an Old thread..but I have the rear trackbar relocation bracket that came with with TF 2.5 Coil lift installed, and I am looking at getting front adjustable track bar to center my axles...will these work together?? Is it even worth it to get a front adj. trackbar?

I'll jump into this discussion as well as I'm still not 100% on this.

My current setup:
4" lift
35s
Adj Front LCAs
No trackbar reloc bracket

What is the proper way to do it?
- trackbar reloc bracket + adj trackbar + dropped pitman arm?

-OR-

- stock bracket + adj trackbar?

Thanks very much and sorry for another question. (Hey, at least its not a new thread )

Bobzinger,
hope those lca's went on ok. Anyway here is what I did.
3.5 RK lift w/
1. Adj trackbar, no relo brackets, no flip kit or pitman arm.
Drives great. However, the stock trackbar axle bracket is a piece of cheese and may break under the right condition. If you are just going to use the trackbar you got from me you may want to beef it up either with a new relo bracket or some make a bracket to strengthen the stock one without changing the position.
Did the lca help the driveability? What length did you set them?

Yes this will work together. I would suggest front lower arms over a front adj. trackback so you can set your caster.

Alright, I'll put the adj. trackbar into the factory mount for now. I will look into reinforcing it. I'll check the parallel-ness of the drag link and track bar after that. But, no dropped-pitman or drag-link flip for the time being.

Thanks.
