My only suggestion would be to get a track bar that can be used on stock and up. The reason is........ I bought a whole kit and happened to buy a brand which their track bar was for 3" of lift and up.
Everything was fine and dandy till I purchased a high steer system. Now with 3" of lift on my steering and a axle side track bar bracket to get the correct geometry. I am really close to stock length for my track bar. And mine will not work so, I had to buy another brand track bar. This time I went with Currie just because it would adjust down to stock length and I got Currie steering components.
And no, all 8 control arms and front & rear track bars are not overboard. Now you can put your axles where they should be.

I have a TF front adjustable trackbar and LCAs. Works fine and steering is great.
If you have a little cash you might consider putting in a track bar brace. JKS has a couple that also relo the steering stabilizer. It gussets where the track bar attaches to the axle and is low cost. Just a thought.

Not sure which one you are looking at.JKS has two braces, the OGS 161, which is ~$125, which gussets the axle track bar mount and provides for SS relo; and the OGS 162,which is ~$59 and also gussets the axle track bar mount and provides for SS relo. This is what I am putting on

Though I bought the kit

The TF bracket is frame end of the track bar and has a different function. Don't think I have seen it sold separate; could be mistaken
