Default Trackbar relocation and dropped pittman arm

For a 3" lift; 1)Should I be installing a trackbar relocation bracket kit? 2)Will I need a dropped pittman arm for proper steering geometry?

Thanks in advance,

Front: I'd recommend an adj. trackbar

Rear: Either an adj. trackbar or a FRAME mounted trackbar relocation bracket

Also, adj. upper control arms will allow you to adjust your caster which should also help the steering geometry for a better ride.
