If it were me I would go with the trac bar. But that's just me.

Adjustable Trackbar. At 3" you can make adjustments for the control arm issues.

YOur control arms will work at that height, your track bar not so much.

here is what you do for the lower control arms just shim them

for the track bar you can do this

1. park the Jeep on a flat surface with the wheels straight

2. unbolt the trackbar at the axle side mount

3. violently rock the body back and forth, and up and down

4. push the track bar back into the mount, you will notice that the track bar no longer lines up with the OEM mounting hole... observe and mark the position where the new hole should be drilled

5. drill the new hole to the proper size

6. (this step is optional but is a REALLY GOOD IDEA) use a welder to fill in the hole

7. bolt the track bar up, you are now done
