Adjustable track bar with 4" lift?
Okay well I'm getting ready to put my lift on. Its a 3" kit but I'm putting 1-1.5" spacers and blocks on it (yes I know blocks are a bad thing). I was wondering if I needed to get an adjustable track bar. Any suggestions?

Yes you'll need one, and lower control arms likely. If you're 4wd you'll also need a sye or tc drop. Go with the best you can afford. SeriousOffroad will probably be the best deal you get on new parts

If you know blocks are bad why run them? Its like knowing a pan is hot and you still touch it. Just get lift shackles or shackle relocation brackets.

Well my parents bought me a cheap lift kit (rough country 3") came with add-a-leafs lower control arms, and I already have a tc drop kit. If it was up to me i would have probably got either rc 4.5" w/ add-a-leafs or 4.5" zone kit. But free is free right!?

That'll be a decent starter kit for you. Then as money becomes available you can upgrade various parts here and there with exactly what suits your needs.

The first thing I'm gonna upgrade is my leaf springs. So I can get rid of the blocks and add-a-leafs... heck I might even keep the add-a-leafs for more lift.

Do yourself a favor and replace the rear setup with 3" full leaf packs from Zone, IRO, or RE, a 1.5" shackle, and relocation brackets.
