Default Rear Track Bar Question

I have a Skyjacker 2.5 lift, which currently utilizes the track bar relocation bracket and stock track bar. I do not have the additional bracket from Skyjacker that connects the track bar bracket to the diff cover. I have found a local reputable welder and I'm trying to get feedback on the best route to go considering there have been problems with an unreinforced relocation bracket and the factory weld for the original track bar connection. If it were your jeep, would you:

a) have a welder reinforce the factory weld, and continue to use the relocation bracket and stock track bar,

b) buy an adjustable track bar and scrap the relocation bracket,

c) buy a passenger side (frame mount) drop down bracket and discontinue the driver side relocation bracket,

d) purchase the skyjacker "fix" to reinforce the relocation bracket by attaching to the diff cover,

e) some other option

Please respond diregarding price. Not suggesting that price isn't important, just trying to do the right thing. I do not plan to increase the lift and I would say my off-roading will be mild to moderate. Appreciate any feedback. I've talked to some on here about the issue and just trying to see what other's experiences have been with their solution.

Id buy a adjustable trackbar and not deal with all the bracket crap.

thanks. would you reinforce the factory weld, or do you think it's not a concern with this size lift?

my first choice would be "B" and second is "C". But if you really dont off road much, "C" would be the best choice from a money stand point.
