Default Track bar question

I know I need a track bar because I get some popping from the front end and the frame end shifts when steering back and forth. I have a 2 to 2.5 lift in the front and im never planning anymore that 3 cause its a daily driver. Im taking a road trip next thursday so I need a new trackbar to save me from the wobbles. My question is would a new stock bar work or should I get an ajustable bar? Ive searched threw some threads and none really gave me a clear answer so what is the best route?

Sounds like you need to inspect your axle-side mount for a wallowed out hole and replace the axle-side bushing as well.

The stud part of tre doesn't move its the bottom part of the tre and the bar that move. Should I still check the bracket though? And can I remove the bar and then reinstall without issue?
