Default Adjustable Track Bar Question

Hey Guys,

Heres the scoop... I get my Jeep this Friday. I have ordered and received OME 2.5 inch lift kit, Fox Steering stabilizer, 35" Nitto Mud Grapplers w/ 18" wheels. Do I need a adjustable track bar? If so, which one? Anything else I am missing?

All depends on how much lift you get which results in your axle shifting, I'd say u should pry get one and I'd say get the jks adjustable more than likely the front and rear it's cheaper than most and beefy as hell, I'd also recommend getting the northridge4x4 bolt set, also I'd look at getting longer sway bar links

Agreed, with my lift the front was further off so I did the front and a few months later I did the rear

Not really needed, I would consider a set of lower adjustable control arms first so you can dial in your alignment.

Nope, not a single problem, the first generation jks bar had issues but they've been fixed and good to go

I ran 2.5" of lift for a year and a half with stock track bar and control arms. Only recently did I upgrade my trackbar and it wasn't because my axle was off, but because the bushings wore out and my bar was flexing. my axle was off only about 1/4" with stock track bar. You'll be fine. upgrade when you can or if you wheel hard imo.
