yea mate u will need one for sure. my mate, has a 2inch sus and 2inch shackle n he had to buy one from superior engineering. they are used because with your normal draglink, it will hit your drivers side ubolt which will ruin your J arm or possibly jam it n loose steering. but i know off people who have gotten away with a 35mm shortened drag link but that is because they move there diff forward.
