Default Track Bar Replacement with 2.5" lift

A little curious, because I'm going to be doing a 2.5" lift, when doing that kind of budget boost, should I consider changing out my front or rear trackbar? And whether the answer is yes or no, why?

And lets say I don't need a front or rear trackbar, there's no harm in replacing it anyways, right?

I plan on doing the Teraflex 2.5" HD boost.

Thanks

Install the kit first, drive it then make a decession. Do the front only as the kit will have a rear trackbar bracket.

Just an FYI in case you don't know. The HD boost will give you a reverse rake, about 3/4" over the rear until you put a front bumper/wench on. I was unaware of this when I bought it (well the seller did not disclose the proper info) and I don't want you to make the same mistake I did thinking you are getting front spring that will give you 2.5" of lift (more like 3.25). Any how I got the front pucks until the bumper and wench.

Thanks for the heads up, I will be doing a bumper and winch by the time I get the lift.

No trackbar changes! If you haven't already, get the TF track bar bracket extension ($29). This fixes the rear quick and easy. Front is no worries!
