1.5" Traxda level kit questions

have the 1.5" Traxda level kit to put on once I pick up the truck this weekend. The question is do I need the front adjustable Panhard bar with the 1.5" or not? I did a 3" level on a 3500 and needed one but not sure on this 1.5".
Just want to have all the parts here ready to go, so I can install all and then get it aligned.
Also, for those with the 1.5 Traxda, and 35's how tall is your truck to the top of the shark fin?

Thanks

according to my calculations, your track bar will be approximately 3/8” too short at 1.5” of lift. This means your axle will be off centered by 3/8”. It’s up to you if you want to live with that or not.

I do not recommend “doing nothing” like the above poster did. You truck will need an alignment afterward. You will, at minimum, want to correct the caster. I do my own alignments but a shop can do it for you as well

Your steering wheel will still be straight because you didn’t change the length of your track bar, which means you didn’t need to change the length of your drag link. That is not the same as your truck “not needing an alignment”
 
I have the Traxda 1.5 lift coupled with longer Bilstein 5100’s and RC trackbar. As mentioned above the axle wasn’t off too much but I’m glad I did the trackbar. I did my own alignment per discussions here. Rides great. My tires are technically 34’s (295 60 r20) and top of shark fin is just under 81 inches.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for! Stock wheels and all! Decided to add the RC track bar once they get back in stock to do the level kit and tires.
