You have coils springs, YJ's have very soft leaf springs. You can add a
2" spacer lift with no change in ride quality, a 3-1/2" spring lift with
stiff springs in a YJ is a world apart.

Don't know I'd agree with removing the track bar, that can lead to some
real iffy situations in corners and accelerated wear on the mounts.
Track bar relocation on the other hand will bring the suspension back
into alignment. RE makes an adjustable track bar, iirc..
