And replacing the sway bar links isn't completely necessary, if you plan on ditching the rear and discos in the front, the stock links will work fine on road.

Dont do it!!! I wish I hadn't. A new track bar is like 120 bucks from RE if you don't get the hole the perfect size then the bolt will move around and you will have death wobble.

I dunno 40 bucks sounds a lot better, but 120 is not much to have a centered axle and a straight driving jeep, I just didn't have the money for it when I lifted my jeep.

Awesome thanks! I hit up the Google when I got home from work this morning and found a chart listing bolt patterns and backspacing for all Jeep models from somewhere in the 80's through 2011, shoulda done that on the Governments time too lol.
