BTW, I would describe my steering as "flighty" in the current configuration. Thanks.
HUge differance for us, eliminated the smal vibs we had and now it doesnt sway when changing lanes

What swings your vote in that direction?
Made in the USA
Has Rubber bushings
Price at 139.95 it is a great deal .

Strength - In my opinion it is just as strong as any of them out there.

I have sold a ton of the JKS trackbars and 99.9% of them are all doing great

Do you have to grease anything on the jks before installing? Just ordered one from northridge yesterday and going to be installing it on the 29th. And also do I have to put on jacl stands?? Or can it be done while all 4 tires on the ground? I read wol's write-up on the full traction one, but was wondering if they're all the same installation wise

Theres nothing you have to grease on the trackbar. I just installed my JKS two weeks ago, and I did it with all four tires on the ground. The JKS trackbar is massive. Just so you know, The jamb nut takes an 1 7/8" wrench, so your going to need that wrench, or a pipe wrench, or big cresent wrench. I don't have any experience with a Rubicon Express trackbar, so I can't help you there.
