Question ?? Teraflex 2.5" BB OEM Kit??

I was reading on the JeepFan.com website and they installed the Teraflex BB 2.5" lift on a Rubicon. They mentioned severe pull after the installation and putting a trackbar bracket from another company. Does anyone know if this is part of the lift kit now or do you buy it on its own.? I want to add the 2.5" lift with the oem shocks but am concerned about the misalignment problem.

TeraFlex is now packaging the rear trackbar relocation bracket with their 2.5" budget boost, at a nominally elevated price. Distributors still have earlier BBs in stock that do not include the bracket, but the bracket can be got separately. BDS makes a very similar bracket. The best thing about these brackets is that they mount to the original trackbar bracket and not to the axle mount which has proven to be problematic in other manufacturers kits (e.g., Skyjacker). There's a camp that believes the bracket is not necessary. To realign the front axle an adjustable trackbar is needed (also available from TeraFlex).

The rear was off a pretty good amount before putting the bracket on. The front isn't off that far at all, even with no bracket and no adj. trackbar.
that is the way i understand it too... a front trac bar screwed all the way in actually pulls the axle to far the other direction
