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

    Just to be 100 % I have a 2 1/2 in lift with a relocation bracket on the rear. I am going to replace my front track bar and have been wondering if I need to get an adjustable one. From what you said I do not need an adjustable track bar. I do not rock crawl just a little hunting and mild off road.
