My understanding is when you lift the car the the whole diff and axle move towards the drivers side, which is why they recommend it.

Send some pics of the lock stops.

thats what happened to mine,when i called in at suburban last week the guy there i think his name is troy not sure ,said he wouldnt worry about an adjustable trackbar as they dont put them on their lifts.i called in there to buy one as i had an issue with it being slightly offset but he didnt want to sell me one and he should know what hes talking about i suppose.i spoke to him about a steering damper but he said they dont make much of a difference so he didnt sell me any thing,geeze i hate wanting to buy something and being told im wasting my money,if i dont spend it my wife will.

With our lifts their not a big lift you can get away without the trackbar but to keep it aligned it is recommended, the reason troy didnt want to sell you a trackbar is because they dont have one.
Theres no need for one all you have to do is custom make a bracket to bolt on in between the chassis and the trackbar.

Steering damper on WJ from my experience makes a big difference I had a rancho which did the job but the 4way spring damper which I purchased from jacob at 4wd service made a huge difference especially when you align the steering wheel which is like getting a normal wheel alignment, and steering comes back to centre like a normal car.

thats what i thought,ive always run dampers on modded trucks especially with big wheels,troy was saying he had just replaced the four way one on chris s truck with on that was modded from a tj ,he did mention that they didnt have one for a wg/wj as the import ones dont swap from left to right.
ive seen those brackets as well teraflex make them but they dont swap from left to right either.
no clearence problems with the 4way? will it clear your new diffcover? did the 4way fit straight out of the box or did you mod it?

The diff is on the passenger side and the damper is on the driver side, and estimated instal time of 5min, 3min took to drive up and down my street to get the steering centred by adjusting where the spring sits, instructions are provided and the price I got it for from jacob no one can beat, oh and definitely no mods to instaling it.
