I will be running the 2" Daystar for about one year. One question about the lift is:

Will I need (or want) a rear trackbar or is a raised rear trackbar mount included in the kit? I am buying a front trackbar to have installed that will center the front axle.

You don’t need an adjustable track bar with the Daystar lift. The rear uses 1.5” spacers under the springs, shock relocation brackets, and longer sway bar links in the rear.

Thanks for your input @Oscar Indy and @Renegade This first phase of the build will be less expensive than I thought it would be.

No need for an adjustable rear track bar. Have the same kit installed and no issues with having to recenter axle.

Did you install a front adjustable track bar?

As others have mentioned front adjustable is not needed but can be added if you want. Some will add due to the aftermarket bar being heavier.
I am going to wait until the bigger tires go on. I have enough experience to know that stock steering and 37" or 38" tires won't work together over the long term. Change one set of componentry and you have to update and strengthen several more items.

I think what he means is that he will be running the Daystar lift for a year before he actually does a real suspension upgrade, lol.
