Need? No, but it sure won't hurt anything. You can buy an adjustable track bar instead of the drop bracket if you want.

Dan (DCSpecial) has recommended the adjustable track bar with leveling kits. I trust him on suspension stuff for sure!!

The geometry would be better with a trac bar drop bracket. The more parallel to the ground you can get your trac bar the better.
