Adjustable trac bar

I'm slowly piecing my truck back together. Got it tore down to frame rails to make it nice and perty. Along with this process I threw a 6 inch lift on it. My question is do you need a trac bar drop bracket if you use an adjustable bar?

In hindsight, a dropped pitman arm and a track bar drop bracket are mandatory. I think I could have gotten away with just using the stock trackbar instead of getting the adjustable track bar.

I got a drop pitman arm and radius arm brackets. I'll go ahead and get the trac bar bracket. I didn't know if I would need one since I was using the adjustable bar.

I assumed the same thing. After installing the 4-inch lift, the track bar and drag link weren't parallel and ended up buying a drop bracket as the last component of the lift.

When peeps ask me who made my lift, I have to ask, "What part?" cuz it's pieced together from Rancho, Skyjacker, Superlift, Rough Country, and BDS. Respectively- shocks, pitman arm and RA drop brackets, adj. track bar, lift coils, and finally the track bar bracket.
