Default AFTER redrilling track bar...then what?

if I were to redrill for my trackbar, and then decide to go bigger in the future, will the holes still be strong enough for the adjustable one?? it seems that if I went up 3", then decided to go up another inch or 2, i'd run into trackbar problems again and would have already exhausted the option of redrilling

do you have an adjustable one now? or did you just drill and relocate? i think that youd be ok, you would just need to have one that would be adjustable enough for the amount of lift you have. im not sure if the new hole has anything to do with the height of the jeep and the tracbar not being sturdy enough.

Just redrill for now and if you go adjustable when you go higher, go back to the factory hole and weld in the other one if you're worried about strength. Thats what I plan to do at least

I havent done anyhing yet..just feeling out the options...I know redrilling the trackbar works...just seems like drilling a hole in the bracket may affect the strength of the bracket for when I want to put out the $ for an adjustable trackbar later..

Has anyone here redrilled, then purchased a new adj one and is running it with no problems?
