Not sure what you are looking for, but Currie has some weld on relocation brackets for the front and rear track bars. Here are some pics:

if you just want a track bar for your lift and nothing extream, go with full traction adj. bars. you should be able to use the factory brackets without relocators and they should hold up well.

If i have a 4 inch skyjacker coils, do i still need to keep my track bar brackets that were included in my skyjacker kit. If i were to order Full traction front and rear track bars?

Are the front and rear Full traction bars a direct fit with my skyjacker coils, or does Full Traction make there own brackets?

I had the relocation brackets first and they were lame. Not for any type of heavy duty abuse, but that is merely my opinion. Now have the adjustable Full Traction bars front and rear and love them. Axles are totally centered and have no problems with at all. My front one does rub slightly on the SOLID diff cover though but nothing bad.

track bars will work with your skyjacker kit, its not connected to the lift.

Keep in mind that if you are using a drop pitman arm and no trac bar relocation bracket in the front you will get bump steer!!

When you say drop pitman arm, you mean longer than stock? I cant remember if my kit had an aftermarket pitman with the 3" lift, I put adjustable t-bars and removed the relocation brackets. Will someone please measure the original pitman so I can compare....Thanks
