Default Rubicon express lift question

Just purchased a 3.5" rubicon express lift and purchased the rear track bar separately. Do I still need to use the rear trackbar relocation bracket if I'm using the new adjustable trackbar?

Some relo brackets also raise the trackbar to fix the rollcenter which was affected by the lift. I am not familiar with RE's bracket, does it just center the axle, or does it raise the trackbar also.

For more ideal geometry and better ride quality, yes you should install a raised track bar bracket. You just want to make sure that if you use the adjustable track bar it can be adjusted to factory length.
