The bracket that currie makes is nice but IMHO I would rather have the trackbar.

So long as you use a track bar relocation bracket that mounts to the frame, you should be just fine. Or, if you get an axle mounted bracket, make sure that it is one like the kind Currie makes where it get welded on and is reinforced.

 

Thanks. The reason I was asking is because there is a substantial difference in price and if the Currie would perform as well then that may be the route I go, but usually when I order something I loose my mind and order what I think I would want to have anyway.

 

The benefit of getting a new track bar is that you can dial in the exact lenght you need in order to get your axle centered. If you install a track bar relocation bracket, you will not be able to do this and you will most likely still be off a bit and sometimes in the opposite direction. Need I say, I personally prefer to get an adjustable track bar but if cost is an issue, the relocation bracket will more or less do the job as well.

 

Do you still get 3" of lift after the springs have settled?? How does it flex ?? i know you said that you werent concerned about RTI #s but how does it flex??

Im thinking about going this route with my 4door rubicon, but not sure if i should just save up and get a FT ??

 

Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to flex this Jeep so I don't know for sure. But, what I have seen from ARB shows that it flexes quite well. On a 4-door, I don't think you will get quite as much height as the 2-doors and if you get the standard coils, it will definitely be closer to 2.5" or less after the coils settle.

 

I am planning on going to Katemcy Rocks, in Mason, TX, in the first weekend of February with out local Jeep club. I plan on trying to fully stretch out my Jeeps new legs and will give a report back on my thoughts and hopefully with some pics too.

 

I would certainly go with the heavy duty coils, as i know i have the 4 door and bumpers are in my future at some point. Im just wondering how well this kit flexes, and rides on the road, as compared to others in its price range....ie BDS 3" Black Diamond, etc...

 

I have another question for you. The new bumpers will be in my future but it might be the far future as in next years tax returns.

Is there going to be problem if I get the HD coils and not put heavy bumpers on right away? I don't mind the extra lift my self but I don't wanna be damaging anything either.

Thanks so much for your help it really is a ton of help.

 

there wont be any problem at all except the extra height.
