Default ZJ Lift questions

So I am the proud new owner of a lifted 97 ZJ. It's a very solid vehicle so I have a few plans I want to do with it. But first I need to pay attention to some things that NEED to be done.

One of the first thing I noticed was the axles were not centered under the Jeep. Knowing what I know about jeeps I know that they did not adjust the track bars to compensate for the lift. I have found an adjustable for the front. My problem is that I cannot find a good drop bracket for the rear track bar. Any suggestions from peanut gallery will be researched

There's no need for a drop bracket on rear of ZJ. I had the IRO trackbar on my last ZJ.. it fit well, i'v read better than a JKS would.

If you are on a budget then I would have to agree with Andrew the iro bracket is a good choice, but if you are going to wheel it often then save a little and get an adjustable track bar. Jks is only around 150
