Sorry for hijacking the OPs thread :headbang:

gotcha. Its my understanding that the rear axle is moved during the lift because of the fixed length of the track bar. so though it travels in a up and down linear movement, it is still off center. The bracket (or adjustable TB) would recenter the rear axle. Im not doing rock crawling or anything, just road and beach. The adjustable TB would allow me to have more control over making sure it is centered, and stays centered, while allowing for change if I go higher with a different lift. I all but ruined my JKU by never correcting and re centering anything after a couple of lifts. So i want to have it all re centered and corrected for the JT and hopefully avoid the problems I had with my jku.
Below is what I am talking about. If you lift over a certain point, and don't add a bracket, there will be more lateral movement than ideal. Ideally, you want your track bar to be horizontal to the ground with neutral weight on the Jeep.

heh, interesting. I got what your saying now! (Pictures always help :movember: ) Ill see what the adjustable track bar does for me. With 2 in of lift and no real travel for the rear track bar per say, since im not off roading, I dont think it will be a problem of the bar being slightly higher than it was stock. If I need ill look at the brackets aswell. They make me nervous since they seem to require drilling into the old bracket to install them.
