Ah shit well looks like I wasted my money then on it. Oh well I'm glad I have it now with the coilovers since I'm over 4" of lift which is when I would need it per this guy anyway
Got me, guess I did say it. So yeah, I think it's a waste. But then I also said later it's up to you to determine that, it's your money. But it's defiantly not necessary and has nothing to do with your track bar issues. As the first post I replied to implied. Ask any manufacturer. Everyone's got an opinion, the OP is on the right track.

Sorry, but you'll forgive me for not taking your recommendations.
So that's why most kits under 4" come with a drag flip. Oh that's right MOST don't.

You're awesome. I wish I had your knowledge.

And they don't come with a driveshaft either, so, you're point?
But if you read most manufacturers will suggest getting new drive shaft over 3", but most don't suggest drag flip.
But they will recommend them, at that height but not drag flip.

This is my original post, I should have said if you get 3 inches or more lift out of a 2.5 inch lift or bigger lift you will need to do a drag link flip and that I would recommend one like the EVO one as it will ALSO raise the track bar and by doing that an adjustable track bar isnt needed.
If you buy a 2.5 inch lift and gain more than that but then add bumpers, winch, etc and it drops it back down then your probably good. I have a 2.5 inch coil lift on my four door and gained a little more than that. Before I added the warn power plant I was debating about the EVO drag link flip to address the drag link and raise the track bar. Once I added the winch, it was enough to bring the front end down some and doesnt seem as bad as what it was. So I will wait on purchasing that.
Most kits go the cheap way and do a drop pitman arm. Good luck with that.

You probably do some hard-core wheeling in Florida too don't you? Thanks for stopping by Wayalife to share your invaluable knowledge with us Kool-Aid drinkers.

You just lost all credibility with this.

I may not be a "JK God" but do consider myself an experienced JK owner. I have "experienced the benefits of a drag link flip with raised track bar from 3" of lift up to 5" and don't believe it's a waste at all. The OP has a 2 dr and wants a coil lift. He will be hard pressed to find a coil lift that only nets him 2.5". In my experience even RK's 1.5" lift netted 2.5"+. No you don't need any of this stuff or even a lifted jeep. But if a lifted 2dr JK is what you want and depending on how well you want it to ride then there are some parts and pieces that get overlooked on most kits (control arms, driveshafts, DL flip kit, etc...).
