I purchased the 2.5 TF bb.
My question is why is there a rear track bar relocation bracket included and not a front as well?

Does this mean that the rear axle shifts by a larger amount than the front from the lift?

I ask in order to rethink wether I have to get a Front adjustable track bar or not with my lift.

 

Because they are not really needed. Some customers didn't need to install the rear bracket either.

 

Thanks for the call.

 

It really all depends on where your Jeep sits BEFORE the lift is installed. Since the axles are attached to the frame with a panhard bar, their movement both up and down is actually in an arc. So, depending WHERE in that arc the axles are stock, has everything to do with where they'll end up after the lift. The optimum point for a static (parked) suspension on a JK would be in the center of that arc, but even in stock form, that's hardly ever the case. As such, some Jeeps that receive a lift may well end up in a better place in that arc AFTER the lift is installed. Other Jeeps may not and may require the rear bracket, or even an adjustable panhard bar (track bar).

 

I'm certainly not going to question the wisdom here, but I guess I'll be the one to ask:

How can you tell whether you need the bracket or not? Is the only option to install everything and then see where the axle sits in reference to center?

 

I am one of those people

barely noticeable it rides fine.

 

So, did you measure how off center the axle is? People have different tolerances for "barely noticable." This whole trackbar thing is driving me nuts.

 

Never measured, I don't think its more than 1/2 an inch. I didn't put the bracket because I plan on going bigger and getting the adj track bars anyway
