The new bolt also provides extra support to the stock bracket. It is up to you but it seems like it is worth the time/effort to drill the hole and install the new bolt
my kit was also missing that bolt
because it wasn't there I didn't install it...I really don't see how there could be very much play in the trackbar without that bolt. The flat side is about flush with the old bracket so how is it going to rotate?
Almost doesn't seem worth it to even go buy the bolt and drill through the metal

Well my lift arrived (TF BB 1251000 w/ front springs) and I did not receive the trackbar bracket . According to the catalog it was suppose to and come with come with rear springs as well (I got pucks). So I guess I need to buy the bracket now. How poopy. Haha....

Is it possible that they deemed it an unnecessary addition after initial production; the upper bolt I mean? I mean, in looking at the pic, it doesn't appear that the bracket would be able to pivot at all, even without the additional bolt, as the backplate extends below the pivot point. Mine is not an expert opinion, just an observation. If it was deemed unnecessary, the undoubtedly would want to eliminate it from the kit, as I would imagine a bb that reqires no drilling would be more marketable than one that does.

A shit ton...the forget the measurements I took, but the front sits higher than the rear the way everything is right now...now if I could just get my Shrockworks bumper to come in, everything would end up sitting level.

Ok thanks. Now I got to figure out what I am going to do. When I ordered this off the northridge site the only information they had was a 2.5 BB w/front springs. When I spoke to Dave I told what I want and nothing was said about these being HD springs and giving me more than 2.5". I have no intention of an after market bumper i just preferred the springs over pucks and I am keeping my stock wheels/tires. So now its time to start thinking. Do you have any pictures not wheeling so I can see what its like?
Thanks again.
