2.5" is not enough lift for an adjustable traction bar. I ordered one recently installed it and it ended up pushing the axle out 1/2" to the drivers side. Turns out 2.5 was not enough lift to warrant the adj traction bar. If you want to waste your money I got one sitting on my shop bench.

I guess I left out one small detail. I did add a 3/4" spacer over the 2.5" BB in the front. So, I actually have 3.25" in the front.

Is there an inexpensive relocation bracket that will correct this?? I will only be doing mild off-road wheeling for the next couple of years. 95% Highway.

3" of lift is enough for a track bar

My BB caused my axle to be off center (very slight-- pretty unnoticeable). I didn't get the adjustable trackbars until I switched out to 3" coils, but I'm sure I could have run them prior to that. 2.5" is enough lift to off-center your axle and if that's the case, an adjustable trackbar can fix it.
