Hey ya'll. I have a 3in zone lift with coils, front and rear shocks, and a full leaf pack somewhere in the mail on the way to my house. I am planning on drilling and reloacting the trac bar. I've been reading a few other post and alot of people are saying they regret doing that and wish they hadnt and blah blah blah. So my question is.. If I drill a hole to relocate and decide to get an adj trac bar in the future is that hole going to affect anything? If not then why is it such a regrettable decision to drill hole and relocate? Thank you.
I reloceted mine last year when I did my lift. When I get the money I plan on getting an adj trac bar. When I get that I plan on welding a plate on both sides to renforcethe moutning location.

If the new hole is far enough away, then I do not see a problem. With 3" coils in the front of mine, I just ran it in the stock hole. No issues. Then I got an aftermarket adj. TB. If you can I would just order an adjustable and be done.

I drilled mine 3/4" over and put it back together. No problems. I do have an adjustable TB on my shelf waiting for the time when my stocker craps out. That goes in the stock hole, just opened up for the bigger bolt.
