Default track bar bracket or adj track bar? or both?

Ok. I've pieced together a lift. Skyjacker 2" spacers (for now), old man emu shocks, and teraflex extended sway bar links and bump stops. What is my best bet for track bars? If I get an adj I can only get one for now. Front or rear? If I just get track bars do I need a bracket, either a drop bracket or a re-enforcement bracket? What would you do in the front and rear? Thanks for the help!

I just went with JKS adjustables F&R. If you do a relocation bracket in the front that drops the frame end, so you can use your stock tb, I think you also have to (or should ) get a drop pitman arm to keep the drag link parallel with the tracking bar to avoid bump steer. I would advise you to get the front adjustable for now and reenforce the axle bracket. Then add the rear tb when you can.

with 2" of lift an adjustable trackbar is all you need. The drop bracket is needed for 4" of lift and above.

We have SRS trackbars in stock and ready to ship.

with just a 2" lift, you don't need anything. sure, your axles will be off centered but just by a bit. if you can afford it, i would recommend getting adjustable track bars front and rear as they will allow you to get your axles centered accurately. while a drop bracket in the rear can be used as a cheap solution, depending on how tall or short the bracket is, you could end up with too much correction or not enough. up front, you DO NOT want to install a relocation bracket unless you install a dropped pitman arm or drag link flip at the same time and really, you shouldn't be installing this until you get up to 4" of lift or more.

TeraFlex! That is a #1600440 flip drag link kit. However you do not need a system like this for a 2" kit. So I would just recommend a front adj. FORGED Trackbar from a TeraFlex vendor.

Default 4.5" lift

Going up over 4" lift . What will work best...

In the front Teraflex Monster Trackbar with which bracket?
Draglink flip or drop the pitman arm with a sector shaft brace?
Relocate the steering stabilizer too?

An adjustable Trackbar AND/OR bracket in the rear?

Wanting to lift without issues...
