My wifes rig has a 3in lift... original sway bar links and orignial trackbar in the original spot.

But if you like offroading you can get some Sway bar disco from RC for cheap.

Yes another vote for discos if you want more flex. Your trackbar is just fine at that height.

if your swaybar links arent hitting your coils you don't need those

and if you can live with having your axle .5" off center you can live without an adjustable trackbar
