Since your rear end is coil sprung, yes you need the rear trackbar, as it keeps your axle underneath your Jeep. I believe they were talking about your rear swaybar being unnecessary.

I broke a couple of track bars and that makes for some goofy axle wiggles! The person who told you that you do not need the rear track bar is a friend or enemy?

Is the same guy that told you you didn't need it the same guy that always tells you how cute your girl is?

Know someone (Applegate )who removed both front and rear swaybars from their Tj. I guess thats why it would always lift the right front on turns and under hard acceleration.

yes, applegates tj was squirley. removing the rear is fine, almost cant tell. get rid of that front, and it becomes an adventure on the street.

Let me guess, short arm lift kit? If so that is a common trait when using the factory control arm mounting points when lifting it. Not really the swaybars fault but does seem worse with the front disconnected simply because the swaybar masks part of the problem by limiting wheel travel.

he had no lift kit. might have even had coils spring spacers, making his arms even that much shorter.... ha! well didn't make the arms shorter, but shorter in reference to the height of the rig over stock.
