Default 3" lift W/O adjustable front track bar...HELP?

Local shop did a 3" lift on my JK and added 35x13.50 tires.
I looked underneath and I see that the front track bar is still stock.

I haven't driven it yet and I won't be able to drive it for a few days.

Is this...

OK
BAD
DEPENDS...DRIVE IT, HIT A BUMP, AND SEE

Thanks for any help

There should be a trackbar bracket added on to raise the trackbar on the axle side or lower it on the frame side...either one or the other. This would be part of the kit depending on which one you had installed.

check to make sure there is not a new raised trackbar bracket on the axle or a dropped bracket at the frame.

u can just get an adjustable trackabar instead of buying a bracket. check the for sale section under susoension. you can easily install this yourself too. no need to take the wheels off or jack up the vehicle. just measure, adjust length, bolt it in, and center the steering wheel. a new trackbar would be preferred over adding a bracket imo.
