Do I need the track bar?

I got 2000 F-250 4x4 Crew Cab with an 8inch lift kit. I have installed a cross over steering knuckel with custom tie rods and steering stablizer. Now I have to relocate the Trac Bar.
So I left the Track Bar off for now and dont notice any difference! Do I need the Track Bar with the 8inch 10 pack leaf springs? It doesnt have rear track bar.

Took mine off a month ago when I installed the new West Texas steering box and haven't had any issues.

I also installed new W code springs so the bushings are nice and tight. Older springs or bushings might get you more side to side movement.

If you don't have any steering problems, then I wouldn't worry about it.

Steers great, I just was worried about ripping the shackels out from the frame or something like that.

You would feel bump steer if you needed to have one on it.
