For the money, JKS trackbars are a no brainer. .. You'll be more than happy with it.

 

TF's HD front TB is a great design... I ran it with my 3" TF lift for 2 months, then noticed trackbar contact at the steering box- pitman nut. (not good) The 4" recommended lift with the HD TB is in relation to the bumpstops, not "lift".
I finally ended up with the JKS, and it works great. The adjustability while installed (TF) is nice, but should only be done once, right?
Both brands are good, but the JKS may be better for 3" lifts (in my case)
The OEM style bend in the JKS avoids any contact with the pitman arm and can be adjusted for plent more lift.

 

Good point, but when the TF literature, etc, states it's for stock to 6" of lift and it's contacting the steering box pitman nut then that is indeed a problem. These JKs should be identical in this particular area, not sure if you're an isolated incident or if others have had this same issue, would be interesting to find out. Maybe TF can shed some light on the issue you had.

 

At the time TF helped me out on this one; the bump stops that come on their 3" lift measure about 2.5" (if I remember right), and the 4" and up kits have taller stops which prevent the contact.

edit/add: the contact I had was light, and only with right front stuffed full up and the swaybar disco'd. I tried notching 1/4" out of the contact point on the HD trackbar, but it wasn't enough.

 

Cool deal

 

Correct that's on the #1753418. Sounds like meatsandwich had one of the #1753419.

 

Here's the picture of the new #1753418 not sure why marketing took a pic of it upside down.

 

Joe/ TF is right. I had the old #1753419. The new one looks great.

 

So what changed your mind?? You were gonna get Tera and went with JKS! Was it mainly price?

I'm hoping to buy TB soon and am leaning toward the Tera HD myself.

 

Several factors, absolutely not "just" price. When you shop for yours just check out all the various brands out there for JKs, their specifications, where their made, where their weak points are, standard stuff and go from there.
