Re: Front & Rear trackbars after lift?
Keep an eye on your shackle bushings, though. If you don't have track bars,
all your lateral forces will have to absorbed by your shackles and spring
hangers. This could, in extreme cases, bend shackles or prematurely wear
out the bushings. Track bars absorb quite a bit of these forces.
