Thanks to the help from others on here I now know the tj I just bought has a 3" sl. My question is should I be running adjustable track bars with this lift? I do seem to have a drop bracket at the rear.

In the front for sure. In the rear a relocation bracket should be fine. My 3” suspension lift is fine with bracket in the rear.

I'm a little concerned the rear axle isn't centered. I bought it with 33 12.50 15s already on. The driver's rear was in contact with the upper spring perch and there was about .50 to .75 inch gap. I have since installed wheel spacers to get some clearance. The spacers were especially necessary for the front as the tires were rubbing hard on the control arms.
 
Your front axle will be off center. The proper way to fix that is with an adjustable tb. The relocation bracket for the rear will get it close, but not perfect.

A rear adjustable won’t hurt. It sounds like you have clearance issues so an adjustable rear control arm will be a good idea.

That's what I was figuring. Was a bit heart stopping when I drove over some slightly raised rr tracks at about 35, unloaded the front suspension and it leapt to the left. HS!
I'm not new to the jeeping world but my previous jeep was a cj5. This is a totally different animal. Definite learning curve.
