More than likely you will move your old backs to the front and use the new ones on the back. Pretty sure that would be in the instructions though.....

Sorry, you are asking about track bars, I misread based on the picture only showing one set of sway bar links.

Looks like you have a new TB tower for the front so you can use the stock one.

That thing right in front of the springs is the Rear track bar bracket (axle side). I'm wondering if i need the FRONT Track Bar bracket or not since teraflex only sells the kit like this without the front track bar extension.

I have that same kit on my 2012 with shock extenders instead of replacing the shocks. You do not have to have it with that small amount of lift. It wouldn't hurt to have it either and it is on my short list of things to do next.

You do not need a front adjustable trackbar with that kit. Your better off adding front lower adj control arms so you can dial in your caster correctly for you alignment.

You do not need front lower control arms and it will not damage anything the way it is, drivie it and decide for yourself. Yes front lower control arms would make it better.
