Do I need an adjustable rear track bar

[Southbay]

I have 2" leveling lift in front, rear is fully stock with the exception of RC N3 shocks. The rear end is all over the place when I hit a bump, jumps sideways on me and can get scary at highway speeds.

I am going to start with the track bar, but was wondering if I should put in a Core adjustable one or will any regular track bar, like a Moog, work? I assume a beefier and better one like a Core will have some advantage, but just wasn't sure if I needed an adjustable one with stock rear height. What all is adjustable on the track bar anyway?

Thanks.

Check the locating arms,as they're more inclined to wear out and give you the issues you're describing then the track bar

There is a good chance your upper and lower rear control arm bushings are worn and have became soft .
Which can cause the symptoms you describe .
Your track bar may be similar.
I upgraded the control arms with Clayton off road .
These are solid assemblies, and have changed the overall driving experience.
No more mushy feeling ,and it stopped my wheel hop when the tires failed to maintain traction.
I recommend getting a better set ,rather than replacing the bushings. As the factory arms are flimsy and twist easily.

I will add in, the freedom arm as well as apoc are almost as good as core now that they have adjusted their business model. Their control arms and track bar used to be great. But since they have updated their process others are very similar and less costly. I have a complete core set up on my 14 RT. On my 24, I went Apoc. Less expensive and you really can't tell the difference from core.

On my 16 I just sold, I choose freedom and they were good as well, except no zerk fitting to great the bushings.

I would spend some time looking around before I just paid the core tax. You might be surprised.

Never had Clayton's, hear they are really good.

I agree with the others, I had similar problems with the truck feeling loose, I had a broken bushing in my core rear lower control arm, the arms have a lifetime warranty but the bushings are serviceable.
I am using the Freedom Off-road arms, no complaints, until I have the repaired Core arms reinstalled.

Thanks for the all of the info and suggestions. I like the Freedom control arms. I have been looking at control arms but figured I'd start with the track bar, maybe I'll just do all at once. I don't have any shimmy or sway, just when I hit any kind of bump or dip at anything over like 30mph, the back end hops and feels like it wants to go sideways.

Being that the back suspension isn't lifted at all, is there any need for me to get adjustable control arms or track bar? I have the 2" leveling lift up front, not sure if that affects anything in the rear though, I didn't think it would affect anything in the rear. The truck is 98% on the road, so I don't need anything too hardcore, I just need to stop jumping around on regular driving.

Should not need an adjustable for stock ride height. Basically all the adjustable does is allow you to recenter the axle, which should only be needed if the ride height is altered.
