No you should be fine. Might move the axle to one side just a little bit, but shouldnt really be able to notice it.

Yes and no. I used my stock bar for years with a 3" lift. If you want, you can re drill some new holes for it.

axle is bit off center, but it is almost unnoticeable.

Afer the little 2" lift on mine ... the slight misalignment of the axle doesn't seem to be an issue.

... but ... my overly imaginative mind - is suggesting that control arm and stabiliser bushes, and even tyre rubbing on full lock ... would be better off - if everything was pointing straight ahead ... instead of being slightly askew and under sideways pressure.

... so when I get motivated - I'll slap in the adjustable panhard rod/trackbar, thats sitting on the shelf.

What track bar did you get? I have been looking for one that will work on my 2 inch lift. but everyone I seen says for 3" or bigger.

Its sold as a 3" one ... and its a RHD one, from some mob down here ... needs a little trimming.
