Does my grand wagoneer need a track bar after I lift it should I re locate or just take off

Need, no. Up to you whether you want to put it back with longer arms. How much lift? Do you drive fast or need to corner quickly?

If it's a 4" lift, I found that a dropped pitman arm AND the track bar was necessary to reduce bump steer.

For a 3" lift, I don't recall it being an issue, but that was ages ago.

It's a 4 inch rustys the extensions are 30 perset I want to keep it handling as well as possible it's a truck not a race car but with that said it is my overlander

Drive it without for a while, see if it handles to your liking. Track bars do not do nearly as much work on a leaf sprung vehicle as they do with other suspensions. As long as you're careful, you should be in no danger without one for a while.

If you're not satisfied with how it handles without it, buy the kits and bolt it back on.

If you do much towing, I would say to definitely keep them. If you only drive it on the street, no reason to not keep them as it will drive better. The only reason to not have them is if you do offroad and want the extra articulation. Trac bars were not used at all until the 80's, but 80's wagoneers did drive and handle a lot better than 70's models (Although this is partly do to the addition of a sway bar as well).

NOTE: That if you keep them, the angle of the front one HAS to patch the drag link for the steering. If they are different angles, bump steer will happen.
