Track Bar Relocation Bracket?

Had front leaf level put on a few months ago, since then I get a hard pull to the right with heavy vibration that feels like its the front end, had it aligned about 3 times already since then, no change. New gear box, etc. Putting on dual stabilizers next week.
My question being, would I need a track bar relocation bracket for a level on the front? Tired of replaceing susp. components and it not helping.
Thanks

My leveling kit came with a track bar relocation bracket. I ALSO added an adjustable track bar (just in case). Haven't run a leveling kit without one, so I can't tell you what that would do.

How much lift does your leveling kit provide? I have a 1.5 add-a-leaf and use the stock track bar and bracket. Mine drives straight and true.

It will be a pain but you can unhook your trac bar and let your truck center itself up and see how far off your trac bar is. On my add a leaf it came with a bracket to adjust the trac bar but it was only off by about a half a hole. If the trac bar is off by enough it will cause your truck to dog walk and pull. Also are they using machines to align the truck or good old fashion hand tools. By hand is the best way to go. The electronic tools seem to only work well on stock vehicles. A good alignment shop would catch the problem!

i used the rough country 2.5 springs for a 2000-04 on my e99 which ended up giving me around 3.5 of lift due to the diff in the springs. with the diff between the e99 and the later trucks track bars i left the orig. used RC springs. only neg affect is my front axle is off side by around 1/2 to 3/4 inch. no weird driving vib or anything else.
