My JT should arrive in 2 weeks. I’m getting a Mopar 2”, RC 3/4” spacer, BFG KO2 37x12.5-17. Do you guys recommend getting an adjustable track bar(which one) and a steering stabilizer? Anything else. Trying to do this once and do it right.

So the front end was off 1” before installing the track bar?

So I added the JKS track bar the other day to even out the front. While it's more even now, I'm still going to get a proper alignment. Steering before the bar was straight, after installing, the steering wheel was sides up and down with wheels straight. Got 2 error codes. So I just did and adjustment on the steering in the driveway. Codes are gone. Still going for a proper alignment however. That bar is no joke, beefy.

Yeah, we lift vehicles all the time at my shop. Every single one gets an alignment when done. Tires are to expensive to waste. Worth the $100. for a good alignment

I am fairly new to this but I am curious that several folks added a adjustable track bar. If it's needed why didn't they include it (just cost)? Also why is a rear track bar not chaged as well when the front is. Wouldn't this offset the tracking?

The front axle is offset with the lift. Do you need the adjustable trac-bar? Nope. Will it drive fine, yes. 2 reasons I can see, one is to recenter the axle and two is for more strength. 2" lift generally means bigger tires.

The rear trac-bar is not offset nearly as much with the lift because of it's initial angle.

By "more strength" are you assuming the replacement adjustable one would be physically stronger than the stock one?
And probably another novice question but why is the rear not offset as much?
