2"-2.5" leveling kit okay with stock track bar?
For all of us with the leveling kit up front (coils or spacers), do we need an adjustable track bar? Will the stock one work well? Is there even an adjustable track bar available for the 3rd gens?

I had a problem with the leveling kit. I was fine with the factory wheels with my 315's. When I put on the Mickey Thompson Classic wheels, I had some serious rubbing going on. I wish someone made an adjustable track bar. The axle shifted almost an inch back towards the drivers door. I had to take off the mud flaps, before they were tore off. It rubbed that much.
I looked all over for a trac bar set-up for the 3rd gen w/leveling kit. All that I could find was bars for the 2nd gen. My alternatives were to go back to the factory wheel or lift the truck. I lifted her 6 inches, all is fine now.
You should be fine with the factory wheels, or a wheel with the same factory off-set.
Hope this helps.

Just had it alligned this morning. As expected the toe was way off, but the caster was still within spec: 5.1 on left and 5.4 on right. No death wobble yet, and I have my complete turning radius back versus 315s with no lift.
