I ordered the Skyjacker 2.5 inch spring lift. After reading Jeephrog's post about his issues with breaking the track bar bracket, I order the JKS adjustable rear track bar and mount. Wish that I had seen that thread first. Oh well, I'm fairly mechanical and understand the basic installation of the track bar itself, but I have a couple of questions for any of you that have done this.

1. Knowing that the track bar helps center the rear end under the vehicle, how do you know when it is at center? Maybe the instructions will cover this, but I figured that I would use the stock bars measurments as a starting point.

2. Do I need to worry about replacing the front track bar?

My JK is my daily driver. Along with the lift, I have a set of 33"s along with Pro Comp Rock Crushers to go on. My off roading is mainly mud and dirt trails with small rock (fist size) and shallow creek fording (less than 2' deep) leading to some trout and smallmouth flows. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

hey steve, this link should help you out:

also, if you can afford to get an adjustable front track bar, i would recommend it.

 

Thanks Eddie, Is it the same basic procedure for the rear track bar? Seems like it would be. I will be getting a new adjustable front track bar soon. I really appreciate all of your help with tires and wheels. By the way, retirement is GREAT!!!

Thanks again,
Steve
