Default About to Take the Lift Plunge..

Alright, I believe I'm gonna lift the Jeep this week or the next. I'm looking at the 3" RC Series I lift with full leaf packs, as I've got some wicked sag in the back. After searching and digging through lift threads on here, I'll probably go with the Nitro 9000 shocks, as the 8000's reviews weren't very flattering. I'm going with 31x10.5s, though I'm not sure which ones just yet. All that said, I have two questions:

1. Will the stock track bar be ok? Should I relocate it, or get an adjustable?

2. Is anyone getting driveline vibrations at 3"? I've read that I may get vibes with the 8.25".

1. Stock will be ok, but the adjustable is a good investment.

2. Yes, you can get driveline vibes at 3 inches of lift.
