After installing the 2" lift springs the front stock trac bar axle mounting hole did not require a repositioning bracket or the less desirable drilling of a new hole in the mounting bracket. After 6 months of driving on the highway and dirt roads; the front end has settled ever so slight (1/8").
When I am driving about 5 mph steering into the turn with the steering wheel is at almost full lock; the Jeep slowly rocks side to side with a push/pull action.
I am thinking this is Bump Steer... am I wrong ??
In the past Jeeps with a similar front suspension this problem was resolved going to an adjustable trac bar.
Is an adjustable trac bar really necessary with 2" lift ??
I am thinking that an adjustable trac bar is almost necessary.

Experiences and thoughts are welcome...
