Default Did Teraflex draglink flip and trackbar, Stoked!

This is one of the best mods I've done, second only to their speed bumps and fox shocks because I like to go FAST. It took about a hour, with the crappy cordless drill and harborfright drill bits, to do the draglink flip and trackbar. I already had a trackbar relocator welded to the axle, thanks JK Professor, but my old pos trackbar was to long with this set up. Now with everything parallel with with 4+" of lift it drives awesome! I really recommend this set up. Thanks Teraflex for the great products, and the $100 back for my old after market track bar!

Ya, and the JKS front track bar mount gives you a hole to relocate that too. It may not make sense, but with damaged stock steering stabilizer I did not notice the bump steer as much. Once the HD SS was installed I think it keeps the front tires straight so when I hit a bump the radical angle my drag link was at would transfer a lot of movement through the steering wheel during daily driving.

So are you running a stock pitman arm? I want to do a similar mod to my Jeep.

I have in my garage waiting to be put on a TF monster adj track bar and TF SS.

What else do I need to order to do the same setup you have???

When I put on my Fox Steering Stablilizer, it pushed so hard to the left. I had to tell the offroad shop to decrease the PSI from 150 to 50. Did you do the same thing?

Oh and with my fox steeriing stabilizer I relocated it with the tom woods bracket.

Ya I have the stock pitman arm. I think with 4-5" of lift, if I also had a drop pitman arm my draglink would be at a different angle then my trackbar. Also I didn't want to spend another $120 on another pitman arm and puller. I prefer a trackbar relocator, like the JKS , because it takes the radical angle away from the trackbar due to the amount of lift. Plus the JKS front mount is much stronger, gives you a place to relocate the SS, and gussets the RF upper control arm mount to the axle. Going fast brakes a lot of s#$t!

Stock pitman arm. By flipping the draglink to the top of the steering knuckle a dropped pitman arm is not required.

Below is a link to the HD Frame Brace and Draglink Kit. I have this on my Jeep along with TF's 4" flexarm lift. Drives GREAT with 37" GY MTR's w/ Kevlar

Ya, a couple buddies and I did this stabilizer and have the slight left thing going on. I want first get my alignment done, not just tape measure I have lifetime alignment from a local shop, and readjust my lower control arms. I have the recommended teraflex settings that "eliminate the jk pull to the right". I already have a nitrogen set up to adjust my shocks for desert running, so then I can mess with the steering stabilizer pressure.

That is a sweet setup, but I had to get just the drag link first due to price. I might add the frame brace later if I go with the flex of a long arm kit and/or coil overs. That is when I think the frame will be flexing enough for me to worry about it.
