Default Trackbars, ok with only front or both is needed?

Hey guys. Just got my TF 2.5 coil lift installed Saturday. No steering issues but the diffs are a lil off. So now I'm wondering if it's ok to just get a front adjustable trackbar for now or should I do both front and rear at the same time? I'm leaning towards JKS but I'm open to suggestions. Thanks in advance.

It's fine to just get one or the other track bar.

My TF lift kit came with a trackbar relocation bracket and its installed, so I guess I don't really need an adjustable rear trackbar now?

WTF! I havent even bought my Jeep yet but does it every end, what else is needed or when do you get the secret decoder ring to unlock the magic list of all the other crap you need to do the quote unquote budget lift kit (as in... it should have all the shit in the kit). Lets see you get the lift kit then you need the exhuast spacer, longer brake lines, different coils if you add bumper, now adj. track bar and dont forget a procal to make the auto shift correctly well I guess its back to surfing Im sure theres something else thats needed before its a complete "kit"

Welcome to the world of JEEP. Just Empty Every Pocket.
The list is endless really. It's all up to how much you can/want to spend. I went a year without major mods. But this past November and this December I've easily spent over 3k on various upgrades/modifications.

You could just leave it stock and not worry about all this.

Rear trackbar relocation brackets are inexpensive and there are plenty out there. At 2.5 inches you must address shock length with longer shocks or extensions, coils with spacers or new coils, both brake lines will need extensions, and then generally just a rear trackbar relo bracket. Only need the procal if you are changing tire size.

FYI, Rock Krawler's rear bracket is bolted and welded to the original and welded to the axle housing. Their opinion is that the stock bracket is weak.
