Default Rear track bar

I just purchased the Teraflex 3 inch coil lift and plan to purchase a front adjustable track bar and adjustable control arm system. My plan is to also purchase a rear adjustable track bar. My question is if I purchase the rear adjustable track bar will I need to install the track bar relocation bracket that came with the lift kit?

NO. that's why you get an adjustable rear track bar--to avoid the use of a bracket.

Default 3" coil lift.

I have this on my Unlimited. I bought a TF monster track bar for the front and use the center hole on the trackbar bracket. Both axles are centered. I would use that bracket even with an adjustable if you think you need it just for the fact that it braces a very weak factory mount on the axle.

I have been running front and rear JKS Adj. trackbars for awhile now. I am considering adding the brackets myself even with the adjustables. Keeping the angle of the trackbar correct is just as important as having the axle centerd.

Installing a adj. trackbar only centers the axle. The steepier of the angle of the trackbar means the more the axle will move side to side. Adding a trackbar bracet, in this case the TeraFlex#1954777, corrects the geometery and roll center. No one has ripped off a TeraFlex #195477 TB bracket.

Thanks, for everyone's input. I'll plan to install the Teraflex bracket and adjustable track bar.

Broke rear trackbar bracket at axle, had it rewelded and added the welded JKS bracket,
when TF 3" lift was installed, had them add the TF bracket since it is part of their kit
and adjustable trackbar.

Teraflex,
Is that rear bracket built in such a way that it can be welded on vs. bolted on??

It can be just bolted in and be just fine. Mine is bolted/welded in.
