Mopar Lift, adjustable track bar?

[Ponce]

I am finally getting around to putting a lift on my 2018 JLU Rubicon. I just added 35's and now plan on adding the Mopar 2" lift. My question is should I order a adjustable track bar with the lift or wait to see if I need it? If I do with that lift will I need bracket extensions? I am open to adjustable track bar specific recommendations. Will there be a need for an adjustable rear bar?

When I install a jeep lift adjustable track bars front and rear are always installed, also make sure that the sway bar links are the correct length, I usually toss the ones included in the kit and replace them with JKS adjustable links. I am also in the process of installing a Mopar Lift in my JLR, I have also included some MetalCloak adjustable control arms, upper bumps & a steering stabilizer relocation kit (raises the steering stabilizer above the tie rod. I have been lifting jeeps for 25 years and that is what works for me.

I am starting to get paralysis by analysis. I am also looking at the Rock Krawler "flex no limits" 2.5 lift. It includes an adjustable track bar. So the price would be almost a wash.
Any input on that kit?

I do basic off roading no extreme rock crawling.

You'll be fine with Mopar. Lift it and give it a go. If the axles being off center bug you, it's easy to add track bars.
The RK kit is also amazing and a more "complete" lift.
It's really up to you and availability.

RK is not just for rock crawling, in fact it’s on road ride is one of the best. It’s actually one of the best kept secrets……..people that run RK….know……..? ……… as for the Mopar lift, the amount of lift you get will/ should determine if you need to square it up and stretch it out……….best of luck to you……

This^^^^ I installed Mopar lift myself and after adjusting drag link to center steering. It drove and tracked like a dream. I already had a Yeti adj track bar on order due to comments here, but honestly didn't need it. Its cool I have it, its way beefier than the stock and "red", but honestly you really dont "need" it.

No one here is qualified to argue with @Roky , but you won’t be able to run stock wheels FYI.

The RK lift is heads and shoulders above the Mopar lift. Get the RK and don’t look back.

So why can’t you run stick wheels? Thanks

Stock not stick. Argh!!!

The RK control arms are bent up for ground clearance instead of inward like the stock lcas. So you need a wheel with 4.5” of back space or less so it won’t rub the control arm when turning to lock….. stock wheels are 5 ish backspace. You can run spacers with stock wheels, or adjust out the turn stops ….
