Question Lift questions/concerns

Some lift questions... don't want to post in the modified forum as they are more worries than anything.

So, i recently picked up a 2.5" 4-door coil lift for my 2-door. It came with shocks, the springs, and a front steering stabilizer (unused).

I was expecting the lift to give me about 3" of lift over what I am sitting at right now, since they are 4-door springs and not 2-door. So I went out and brought some Currie adjustable rear sway bar links and a JKS adjustable rear track bar.

My worry is, that I will need a front one (adjustable track bar) also to be drivable. Or will it work/perform just fine but my axel is just slightly off center?

I have already dumped 3x as much into my Jeep than I said I would... is swear this thing is like crack... but legal.

You should be fine. I ran my lift for a while before I added an adjustable trackbar. I honestly added it because I could see the axle was off center. Now I know it was not bad at all but things like that drive me nuts. I will say it does drive better with the trackbar.
I would say install the lift and drive it, see what you think. You should be fine.

A slightly shifted axel is worth putting up with for a few months while i save up for the front track bar...

The front will be off more than the rear but it really won't affect the way it drives. However, it's only another $130 for the front track bar and peace of mind.
