Default Any Trackbars You Like in Particular?

I have a little front end shimmy. Nothing unsafe. A slight pull to the right too. I still have the RE 2" BB. 33 x 12.50 tires. It's just kind of an annoyance now, even after my many wheel alignments and wheel/tire balances. I'm currently looking into front and rear trackbars that can compensate a lift from 2" to more -- looking into OME or Teraflex coils to replace the BB when I have the cash.

Question:

Which front/rear trackbar(s) do you suggest for this size of lift, plus?

The trackbar should help with the shimmy and slight pull, right?

Thanks!

A TeraFlex #1753418 Forged HD Trackbar will work fine in the front.

Thanks. Yeah, I was looking into the Teraflex Forged "Monster" for 0-6 inch lifts. I like it!

What should I do about the rear? Anything? The rear obviously has no problems, if anything I would just like to maybe recenter the rear axle. Thoughts?

As mentioned TF Monster forged it's the way to go.

For the rear, a TeraFlex #1754400, rear forged TB will be coming in a few months.

I support replacing your track bar, but I don't believe it is going to solve your shimmy problem unless your current one or its brackets are faulty.

I just put the JKS front and rear track bar braces and track bars on mine. I looked at the Teraflex, but they weren't in stock at my local shop and I needed them on before Easter weekend. I don't think you can go wrong with either choice.

I'm definitely going to replace the trackbars. Curious, what else may be causing the shimmy? It's only a 2"BB.
