new tracbar? alignment after?
I recently did a three inch lift including coils leafs, and shocks, only, and I dropped the brake lines. My question is should I get an adjustable track bar, seems like I need one, barely, I already got an alignment , should I get another one after the new track bar.?

I forgot to mention that the top bushing near the frame is falling apart, so thought it would be easier to just replace the hole thing instead of bushing, but I am broke so I would rather do the relocation bracket, and replace the bushing as long as I wont need a after market trac bar for 3" of lift

An aftermarket is simply adjustable and usually a little beefier, the difference is if you go from 3 to 5" lift, you can just adjust it, whereas with the relocation bracket you would have to move and reinstall the bracket.. And right, no alignment needed.
Edit- the bushings on a new track bar can fail too.. So it's still cheaper to replace them and get relocation bracket.

Sorry for so many questions but I just read that Trac bar end that attaches to the fame bracket does not have a replacable bushing, but instead the end of the bar needs to be replaced or possiblly the whole bar . . . is this true, maybe I will get a new trac bar, thoughts . . .

Well I am pretty sure after a little more research that the frame end of the oem trac bar is a tie rod end and so it is my tie rod end boot that needs replaced, they are only $3,
But soon I am going to upgrade to Kevins offroad trac bar conversion, seems pretty solid, thanks again everyone
