I've searched every term and read many write-ups to get a good feel on whether or not this part is even needed for this particular lift size. Some use it, some dont. What are some of the pros/cons of using vs. not using this bracket? Thanks

 

I just read a thread about an hour ago where someone asked the same thing. Don't remember the threads title but teraflex chimed in and said it is not nessasary for that lift.

 

Pro would be it centers axle under Jeep. Mainly for looks on a 2.5" lift, but some people report ESP going of because Jeep notices axles are not in line.

 

I've read so many posts that I'm conflicting my own thoughts.... I know somebody has mentioned it in a post, but thought if I actually title a post about it, it will help me and many others to find quickly.

 

Ok, I knew the ESP will go off for a mis-aligned steering wheel but this is the first I've heard about mis-aligned axles. Good to know. Looks like I will try to install this thing without screwing up the alignment of the holes like so many others seem to have done. Thanks

 

When you install the lift, it will move your axle 1/2" to side, causing your steering wheel to be a little off, causing the ESP to register.

So once you align your steering wheel, your axle will still be 1/2" off, but you'll be straight on steering and ESP shouldn't ever go off.

 

You could install an adjustable track bar to center your axles and not use the bracket.

 

Yea, you need the bracket regardless if it's a bb or coil lift. With an uncentered axle, your car will be over the road.

 

It isn't necessary to install an adjustable trackbar with the TF full 2.5 kit. I made sure TF had one in stock locally before we installed the lift just in case but I ended up not needing it just like they said. This is on a 11 JKU. The full kit comes with a rear relocation bracket. It looks like the budget boost kit also comes with the rear bracket?

 

Not true. I have run a 2.5 BB in two jk's for a combined 29000 miles and they both haven driven straight as an arrow.
