Mike u shouldn’t need a alignment unless u need one now. Your going to need swaybar linkage. And extra cash for all the bolts that snap (shocks) etc…

swaybar relocator bracket?
front or rear?

Front and rear it’s just a pair of linkages. U can get reg. or quick disconnects. For a 2" lift go on eBay zone is a good deal.

Mike,

You can use my garage to do this, so you wont have to do it in the snow. Let me know when you are ready. As for the track bars, you do not NEED relocation brackets as many people have installed BB kits without them. The front axle will be shifted to the drivers side about a 1/4" while the rear will be shifted over to the passengers side about a 1/4 inch. Not a deal ideal but not the end of the word either. If the budget is there then I would recommend getting one for the rear at least. Don’t get one for the front. The right way to do this is with an adjustable sway bar (some time down the road).

Rough country has a rear for $18.00 roughcountry.com/track-bar-bracket-1087.html

You should do an alignment anytime you do anything with your front suspension… Especially since we can do it at home easily with a tape measure. I have yet needed to get an alignment done and have not had any alignment issues (knocking on wood as I type this).

I like sway disconnects but you do not need to get these for 2" lift. When/if you decide to get a set, get adjustable ones this way you can re-use them when you decide to lift the jeep again.
