Default Aev 3"-4.5" rear track bar on a 2.5" lift?

Just like it sounds. I got a great deal on the track bar and was hoping to install it on my unlimited that's equipped with 2.5" Bilstein and RC coils.

Will I be doing more damage than helping?

Thank you for any info.

I think you will have to change the trackc bar bracket, it might be to high for 2.5'' and you could have some clearance issues.

Just get a track bar bracket for 2.5'' lift.

The AEV kit came with a drop bracket.
It's time to replace my oem which was installed with the teraflex drop bracket.

What I mean is the bracket for a 2.5'' is shorter than one from a 3.5 or 4.5'' lift.

The track bar is the same.

AEV uses an OEM bended track bar.

If you use the bracket from a 4.5'' lift on a 2.5'' lift you might have clearance issues.

If you have a terraflex track bar bracket for 2.5'' lift you can use it with the AEV Track bar.

Ahh. Thanks for clearing that up.
Guess I'll post it for sale then. Oh well, was worth a shot.

Wait, does that mean use the new AEV track bar and no teraflex drop bracket?
Or still use the drop bracket?

I'm sorry for being so dense.
