Default Front trackbar needed?

Newbie here, and i did a search but couldn't get a conclusive answer. I'm getting ready to put my teraflex 2.5" coil lift with teraflex shocks and exhaust spacers on my 2012 rubicon unlimited, i 'll be running 295 70 17 tires, do i need a front adjustable trackbar i know the teraflex kit has a rear bracket but do i need one for the front? also should i just get the AFE y pipe and catback instead of using the exhaust spacers? i've read the stock and afe kits are 2.5 diameter and won't see any performance increase just better sound.

I say that if you've already got it in the air and have the means to do the catback exhaust, then go for it. Might as well do two things at once!

no, an adjustable front track bar isn't "needed" but, i typically recommend one as it will allow you to recenter your front axle after lifting it.

You really wouldn't hear or feel a difference with the Y pipe. Spacers will be just fine. If you go Y pipe, might as well buy a nice exhaust to go with it for time and effort. You know what I'm saying?

Also, wayoflife is pretty much a jeep genius, so, I'd listen about the front track bar. For serious. It's not necessary, but the ability to adjust when the time comes is very important. Just makes it better, easier, etc.
