Default Front Track Bar for 2.5 " Lift

Just got a Teraflex 2.5" lift and I love it so far. The front axle moved about an inch to the drivers side. I am looking at the rubicon express adjustable track bar RE1673 to center the axle. Any thoughts ?

I know it's a lot more money but I'd go with the teraflex track bar. I've heard of the RE track bar ovaling out the frame side hole.

I was very happy with the TeraFlex trackbar on my last JK and ordered the same for my new one with the same TF 2.5" lift.

Look at the synergy track bar, it has a double adjuster that makes it easy to adjust without removing. Raise the rear track bar with a axle side bracket for better handling.

1" ? Seems a little excessive at 2.5 inches of lift?
How did you measure?

My vote for JKS trackbar. Stock style bushings so it won't wear out like a rod end in a year. And this thing is BEEFY.

Really I just eyeballed it, but it moved enough to to notice.

I just measured it with a plumb-bob. The front is shifted to the drivers side by .5" and the rear is shifted to the drivers side by .75". I did not take this measurement before the lift. I am debating if I need to fix it at all?

I doubt you will feel one iota of difference in how it drives so if aesthetically it does not bother you leave. I had about the same and went with a Tera flex bracket in the back and a RK adjustable in front. If I had to do it over I would skip the front but would still do the rear track bar bracket as it does raise the roll center where it should be.
