Default rear tracbar vs. drop bracket

I have a teraflex 2.5 coil lift on my livingroom floor waiting to be installed, and in my craigslist browsing there is someone with a teraflex rear adjustable tracbar for sale for 75$. i was thinking that i could use this instead of drilling and useing the rear trackbar bracket. is this right? is the only thing i am saving myself from is drilling one hole?

From what I have been reading the drop bracket is fine for the lift you have but it is stronger with a new trackbar and you would be able to change lift sizes easier. The front is more of a concern then the rear for strength.

good price for a TF bar. I am running an adjustable bar with no extra brackets and it is working fine for 2 years now

It is preferred for better suspension geometry to raise the bar at the axle end rather than drop it at the frame side! So, out of those two choices, go with the new bar!
