Default 3" lift, Adjustable trac bar or Redrilled stock??

I bought my XJ with 3" front coils on it, and the stock bar redrilled what looks about 1" over. My question is do most people just redill with only a 3" lift? Rough Country says to do so and Rustys says to run an aftermarket one....

tough finding an adjustable that'll work with a 3" lift. 3/4" over on the hole should do the trick.

Most people just redrill, but you can use an aftermarket trac bar if you want. Rustys makes one for stock height to 2" lift, and I have a Rough Country one that is sold for 4"+ lifts, however they said will work for a 3" lift or even less when I called about it.

I still have a stock track bar with my 3" lift... Haven't had any problems since april but im sure my alignment could be better. don't have any problems with it pulling around on the road though. Funny thing is I have an adjustable one sitting in my garage, Im just too lazy to install it since I dont have any problems with my stock one and I'm scared away by the rusted castle nut
