Yes you will. At 3" or higher, your axle will be shifted to the driver's side. The adjustable will bring it back to center for proper axle placement. There are ALOT of adjustable trackbars so if you need help finding one, let us know.

I was looking at the RE 1600, but I don't really feel like spending 164 dollars on a track bar. Is there a cheaper one that is still reliable/good quality?

You will either need to relocate your axle side mount or get am adjustable one at 4.5. Relocating has worked ok for me. One of my shops told me that relocating it would cause death wobble. Doing it actually helped relieve the dw. I would recommend IRO's double sheer track bar. It's pure bee.
