with my buddy's jeep, we did end up swapping out the lower control arms with some adjustable RE lowers, but kept the stock uppers.
we didn't have to do anything with the track bars, but the rear sway bar needs to be in place. there's just too much body roll without it.
it's ok without the front tho. but he just unbolts the front when wheeling. takes like 5 minutes.

we trimmed his fenders and he runs 31x10.5 and stuffs them nicely.

Yea you really don't need the adjust. tracbar. It will just run down the road sideways but even that will not to bad. So he could just buy 4 shocks for a 3 or 3.5 inch lift, 3.5 inch lift springs for the front and then do a front to rear swap. This will allow for 31s.

haha, it won't run down the road sideways. lol.

with only a 3 to 3.5 inch lift, especially just doing a front to rear swap, the track won't be out that much to even notice it.

i could take pics of my buddy's zj to show just how we did it.

at least his doesn't drive down the road sideways.
