Are control arms and track bars worth it?

[Kyle's Sahara]

I’m planning a 2” lift on a 4 door Sahara 3.6 with 6 speed manual. I’ve decided on Dynatrak Endrosport due to the tuned shocks and springs. I’ll be going with Wildpeak AT4 11.5X35R18 load range C tires on stock wheels. The goal is maximum ride comfort. Will control arms and track bars provide a noticeable improvement in ride comfort on city streets after doing a 2 inch lift?

I would definitely do the Mopar lift lcas, but the track bar will be ok providing you only get 2” of lift…. The higher you go the farther the axles will shift…measure between the top of axle tube to lip of top coil housing, or center to center of shock connecting bolts, before and after lift, that will tell you how much lift you actually get…….

Is the kid have drop down bracket?
I recommend to keep the geometry proper on those.
As for track bar, maybe for recentering the axle and add a layer of strength to combat the wobbling.

Thanks, and good tip about how to measure for actual lift height!

Neither of those things has anything to do with ride quality.
A good aftermarket track bar will fight against death wobble.
Adjustable or longer fixed lower control arms will give you a better caster angle with the lift and will help with directional stability on the highway.

As others are saying, the track bar and LCA will help with steering and stability. I'm about to do these a second time because they made a such a difference on my first Jeep. If you're looking for comfort, 17's will be better than the 18's. Your shock and spring choice probably have the most effect, I'm seeing mixed reviews on those.

Nice build! Do you like the way it rides? Did you notice a difference after adding lower control arms and track net, or did you do them same time as the aprons and shocks?

Love the feel of it over stock. I once asked that question in this thread and all the Jeep heads told me to get Mopar LCAs and trackbar. Let me tell you they were right. So when I got my lift the LCAs weren’t in yet to be installed so I still had stick to stock. My jeep felt loose idk it was a weird feeling. After the shop installed the trackbar and LCAs everything felt in control again. So I would suggest getting them. It makes steering so much better.
