Default Track bar

Quick question. Track bar is bad again on my 98 cherokee, just replaced it last summer. I have about a 2.5" lift on on the front and 3" in the rear. So two questions. Do I need an adjustable track bar because of my lift? Or is there another reason it keeps going bad? Thanks all!!

Jeff

Its a cheap track bar. From Autozone or something. I'm a student so Im wondering if its worth the extra money to get a better track bar or if I have to get an adjustable because of my lift.
