I am about to put a 3/4" spacer on a 2 inch lift to level my truck. Is that enough to need an adjustable trackbar and control arm relocation brackets. I know that it's needed for 3.5 inch lifts. I just want to keep everything good under the front. Would the relocation brackets cause a problem with this small of a lift?

The axle will likely be offcenter by 3/4" or more with 2.75" of lift. If definitely do the track bar. That's really not that small of a lift anymore and drop brackets would definitely improve the ride.

Thanks for the quick reply. That is what I figured. Just wanted to hear it from some experts that it is a good idea.

My question would be is it a true 2 inch lift. Even the Mopar will net you over 2” from what’s been reported here. One question you might ask the relocation bracket company you choose is how much will their bracket lower your lower arm where it mounts to the body. While level is good I would imagine a negative slope of the lower front arms would be detrimental…. At least that’s what my Friday after work brain is telling me.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. What if it went too far the other way.

Do you need one? No
Should you get one? yes

Lots of lower height lifts are done with out them. I'm on a 2.5" lift - so less than you will be with the spacers, and adjustable track bars made a difference for me. I'm also extremely detail oriented - to a fault. So even 1/8th an inch would bother me.

Steersmarts has some great options
