7" Lower - Track Bar Relocation Needed?

So I'm done with the notch and have done a 7" drop in the rear with a combo of 5" coils with 2" drop blocks.

I noticed some people relocate the track bar attachment at the crossmember. Some basically flip that existing OEM bracket to raise the attachment point (looks to be about 4" raise).

I also noticed some not changing anything.

I understand that lowering these trucks results in a small arc for the track bar. So theoritically the rear axle is pushed back just slightly.

However, I've checked it out at max articulation. Axle sits perfectly in the C-notch. I'm also getting a new driveshaft made as I upgraded to a 9.76" axle with discs.

Guess I'm wondering what, if any, advantages are for relocating the track bar to a higher location at the crossmember.

Thanks!
