Default tracbar ?

bought my jeep and it has a 2.5 spacer on top the coils, anyway was noticing that my rear passenger tire sticks out further than the driver so obviously the axle isn't centered. i just need to get an adjustable trac bar to fix the issue? im pretty sure my front is the same. i really wanted to just get a 3.5 lift but have read that you will need drive shaft and exhaust spacer mods.

An adj trackbar will fix the centering of axle. I'm on phone so can see your profile but I'm assuming you have a 12+ wrangler. The exhaust extension is a yes with 3.5" + lift but the driveshaft is a maybe. I have a 3.5" lift and always run disconnected offroad and my shaft is fine. Got about 900-1000 miles offroad out of my 19000 total miles.

I have a 12 with the exhaust spacers. It's either or in my opinion. The spacers are good with the factory shaft but an aftermarket drive shaft and no spacers is another option, pending your wallet

If you go in teraflex's website and click on the exhaust spacers they a video clip on why you need them.

Thanks guys, I have a 2011 2 door Sahara. I know that an exhaust spacer is needed for a 2012+, but procomp and teraflex told me anything over 2.5 that I need a drive shaft mod.

I say do the 3.5" and wheel it and just drive it till you need new shaft. I don't think youll need it for quite some time

I personally installed a 2.5" coil lift with 3/4" spacer on top on a 2012 2 door and although a drive shaft is needed it's not necessary. I run a 4" with 3/4" and factory drive shafts.

Track bars are a must and I LOVE my teraflex HD track bars

if you go 3.5 in you can just do a track bar relocation bracket like evo in the rear to recenter your axle and it will help your ride alot.. also 3.5in in the front will allow a evo draglink flip which also relocates your trackbar recentering your axle in the front and also fixs the bumpsteer you will notice at 3.5in.. Basicly locating everything back to stock angles and ride
