I watched the youtube video and totaled the additional parts to recenter with rock crawler relocation brackets, adjustable drag links with Griffin atenuator, upgrade to steer smart, adjustable track bar and 3/4" Daystar spacers. Is it all necessary? I want to know.
Most definitely not. The only part that actually changes the axle position is the track bar so worst case, you'll need to buy one front and rear but you can often get away with a drop bracket for the rear to make it cheaper.

Absolutely not. Adjustable front track bar. Then end.

You only need a adjustable track bar to recenter your axle, nothing else. If your lower control arms need to be leveled out to stock you can buy them for $119 online but I think the Mopar 2" kit comes with the lower control arms. It sounds to me like they beefed up the suspension and nothing wrong with that but all you really need is a adjustable track bar. I recommend one that adjust on the jeep and not off.

mine is not a max tow (narrower axle) and it was off to one side about 1" more than the other (so 1/2" shifted to the right).

It was noticeable enough that I ordered an adjustable track bar which easily fixed it (I got the YETI steer smart). I got the YETI (overkill for me) because you could adjust it on the jeep (without unbolting it) and it looks cool in red.

Many thanks for educating me. Can I install a track bar myself? Sorry if I didn't look in youtube yet.

Yep, two bolts top and bottom and take the stock one off and two bolts top and bottom and its back on. The most important thing is making sure it gets torqued tight enough. It's probably the number 1 cause of death wobble and if it's the least bit lose it will happen. I can't remember the torque specs right off hand, I got them written down at the house.

It all depends on your intended use. 99% of owners don’t NEED any of these things. Wanting is a whole different issue.

Watch YouTube the ultimate Mopar lift from Gator overland. He added parts total of $1300 to correct the off Center problem
Who needs to buy a lift kit with that flaw? A dumbass like me. After watching the video, I'm hoping I can return the lift kit and go with EVO stage 4, king shocks, relocation brackets, control arms and many extras. It's $5400. It will probably total over $7200. But the Mopar lift sucks. If I can't return it, O will spend the $1300+labor.
Why does the Mopar lift suck?

Iā€˜m quite happy with mine.
