Front track bar question

Front track bar question
I promised I searched for this question. I am going to be installing the Teraflex 3 inch kit with shocks, replace all 8 control arms, and will be putting on front and rear adjustable JKS track bars. Teraflex provided a rear track bar bracket, there is not one for the front. By assumption(and this is very loose so dont flame me), it appears that the front track when level has a smaller angle in relation to the ground vs the rear which will cause less stress on the front bracket so a reinforcing front bracket is not needed if your not lifting your rig too high. Also , it seems the rear rips off more than the front from what I have read here on the forum. I see in WOL's write up when he put on the Tera 4 inch, he had a front bracket welded on that was not made by Teraflex. In my case is a front track bar bracket necessary because Teraflex did not provide one, or it has not been engineered by them yet?

Since you're putting on a JKS adjustable front (although I don't know the adjustable range) you should be fine just using the OEM attach points and adjusting until ya get the axle centered underneath.

I do not agree. I purchased the 3 inch kit from Teraflex about 2 weeks ago, installed it, aligned, and now I have a horrible death wobble. I've had 4 wheel parts and bob supplee inspect the work and everyone agrees that it needs a new track bar for the 3 incher.
I would hope that Teraflex would start telling people this. Now my jeep cannot move and I've now have an unexpected expense.

Death wobble in my Jeep is going 20 miles an hour, hitting a small pot hole, then the steering goes side to side very fast and will not stop till you do. I have not tried it on the highway yet.
