My response about the trackbar is the same... almost. One of the main reasons I got this particular size lift is because it doesnt change things enough to require other mods. I think keeping that extra 3/4" spacer up front has put me right at or close to the threshold of needing other mods. WITH that extra lift, I believe I now NEED the front track bar or at least a bracket. I think this might also be the case without the extra spacer, but that would be speculation. I would pose that question to Joe with TeraFlex, as he has now seen the results from my install. My short answer would be that I think you should get the TB or a bracket, but I dont know if there is anything wrong with leaving your axle slightly out of center??
The rear TB bracket adequately recenters the rear axle, so nothing more is needed there. Let me know if I can help out any other way...

Always happy to help and offer my opinion... for what its worth!
Well, these werent close to Phx... We ran up to Sedona early Sat am and wheeled most of the day. Cliffhanger, which is short and more like just an obstacle than a run. And Greasy Spoon. This was gorgeous scenery, but not too challenging for a built rig. It would be great to make a stock'er work hard on his lines though. Then grilled some dinner over the fire pit back at camp and let the sun go down. After dark, and after waiting for the moon to rise from the clouds (which it didnt) we hit Broken Arrow. This is the main trail that all those silly pink Jeeps run for the tourists, but it is INCREDIBLE. It might be my fav trail so far. We ran it again the next day in the sunlight and it was 2x as good. If you ever want to show people from out of town what Northern Az is all about, take them up for this run. Let me know if you ever want to go out. I usually get out once/week. Here are some pics of the Sedona runs and a few others from the last couple months...

So does this lift with the springs compensate for the factory "rake"? What if you were to actually mount a aftermarket bumper and winch, would a spacer of some kind be needed up front? I'm just wondering what the advantage of this lift would be over the 2.5" bb?

Bummer, bummer just my luck. I want this lift and love the pics, I come home today from a extended weekend long camping trip to find out northridge4x4.com had a weekend only sale!! 
Hopefully they'll have like a "last week in July" 5% off sale". I just can't buy something that I know was recently on sale, yep I'm a coupon clipper LOL
