Should I get an adjustable track bar for a 0-3 inch lift?

You could start with one that mounts like oem and doesn't require drilling the frame mount.
I think Rough Country makes one (post 27) and probably others.

That’s a good point, but I believe the RC bar requires more bumpstop to avoid interference than does the JKS.

There are lots of trade offs, so it’s good to be aware of all of them when making the choice for one’s particular situation.

Good decision on getting an adjustable TB. Did a 3” lift and instructions said “drill a second hole”, I figured that was a bad idea so got an adjustable TB

It's only a bad idea if you don't torque the bolt properly. 🤫 BM bolt and flag nut helps.

I am in the same boat. This is one of those things I have been ignoring, but it drives me nuts when I look at the front of the Jeep. I know for 2" of lift it is only supposed to be off 1/4 of an inch or something like that, but the difference looks huge to me. The reason I have been avoiding it is potential clearance issues with the front diff cover. I don't want to open another can of worms. I have plenty of open cans already. And I don't want to have to add a ton of bump stop.

Since RJ, JKS and RC seem to be the popular choices, does anyone know if any provide more diff clearance than the stock bar? I am sure the Currie is overkill for my needs, but I am willing to get whichever one will work best for me.

I installed the BSD adjustable track bar. When I cycled the suspension it looks like everything cleared. I haven’t been able to get off road with yet. If you want picture of it let me know.

Currie gives the most clearance. But unless you have a front Dana 44 it likely won't be an issue
