RC 2.2 lift additions
If I added these 2 items to my RC 2.2 lift It would keep my axles centered with no problems right?? Or would i still need adjustable trackbars?
TeraFlex Rear Trackbar Bracket for 07-09 Jeep® Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK with 2-3" Lift
Item Number: 16191.9005
Skyjacker Front Track Bar Bracket for 07-09 Jeep Wrangler & Wrangler Unlimited JK with 2.5"-5" Lift
Item Number: 16005.950
Or do I only need the rear? Sorry for the redundant questions.

There's a near 100% chance all you'll need is the rear. Even with my recent 3" lift (which turned out to be almost 4.25!!!), I only needed to adjust the front 1/8" whereas the rear required just over 1" adjustment.
On my 2-door Sahara, I ran the RC 2.5" BB and didn't do anything at all to the rear. The axle offset wasn't enough to bother. So you may want to pick up the rear bracket just in case, or you may want to just do the lift first and see.

I wouldn't mess with it...axle shift on a 2"-2.5" lift is minimal, not worth the hassle of installing the bracket IMO. Mine has 2.25" of lift in the rear and my axle shifted 1/2"...not enough to worry about.

Not tryin to hijack but what are the thoughts on these same exact front and rear brackets after i install my 2" BB on top of my 2.5" coil lift? Actually ill be stacking the 2" spacer on the front for 4.5" of lift and just a 1.25" spacer on the rear for 3.75", what do yall think?

Ive done searches on the rc 2.5 coil lifts and many people have said that there is no need for the bracket. Id do the lift then check it. I plan to get this lift also and will purchase the rear sway bar links and move the stock rears to the front. This corrects the angles the lift puts on the sway bars. I also plan to purchase some fence mender brackets to drop the brake lines in the rear. They are inexpensive and can be purchased at lowes or home depot . Good luck.
