Default Will this work?

This might be a silly question, but I figured I would ask because if the idea I have works, then I don't have to buy anything else.

So my current set up is 3" Teraflex lift with a relocation bracket on the axle side for the OEM track bar. Even with the relocation bracket, the axle is still not centered. I bought a Rock Krawler adjustable track bar thinking the relocation bracket came with it so I could just swap the OEM track bar and the Teraflex relocation bracket with all the Rock Krawler stuff.

Now here is my problem. When ordering, I didn't order the Rock Krawler track bar with the relocation bracket. I only got the track bar. I looked into a relocation bracket and realized Rock Krawler's bracket is a weld on bracket. I have NOOOO welding skills at all. So here are my questions.

What is the relocation bracket for in the first place? And can I use the Teraflex Relocation bracket with the Rock Krawler Trackbar. If so, it would save me a lot of time and money. If not, I am going to have to look into a different route. Thanks for any help you can give me.

If your stock bracket is still useable then just use it with your new TB , the relocation bracket is a cheap way to use your stock TB

This is the kit I have installed right now. The relocation bracket I currently have on is the one that is in this kit.
Teraflex 1251000 - TeraFlex 2.5" Lift Kit with Shocks for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler Unlimited JK 4 Door - Quadratec

That is the bracket that I am curious about. Will it work with the Rock Krawler track bar.

If it is possible to just use the stock bracket, what is the point of a relocation bracket.

I run a 2.5 lift with the rk track bar and it adjust to center it you have no need for another bracket just use stock locations.
Like said before relocation brackets are just a cheap fix to use a stock track bar

Okay, I now see why I was confused. I thought that was the purpose of a relocation bracket.

Here is where my confusion came in. I was looking at quadratec and saw this.
Rock Krawler Suspension JKC0001 - Rock Krawler Bomb Proof Rear Track Bar and Bracket for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

Just now realized that comes with a bracket because it is not adjustable.

Thank you for quickly talking me through my confusion. Now I feel dumb. haha. Thanks guys!

But when you look at this:
Rock Krawler Suspension RK02026 - Rock Krawler Bomb Proof Adjustable Rear Track Bar for 07-14 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK - Quadratec

It says under the product details that it needs a relocation bracket on the axle side. Why, if it is adjustable?

My fault a little here I was thinking of the front TB

that rear teraflex TB bracket is what you need because you are lifted above 2.5 , so with your new TB use that bracket also

okay, so just confirming what you are saying. I can use the Teraflex relocation bracket with the Rock Krawler Track Bar instead of using the Rock Krawler Relocation Bracket. Just confirming before I start pulling things apart.
