I have a 2 door, with a 2.5" coil lift from RC

I recently bought a Superlift front track bar, but it did not fit, even at the shortest it was almost 1" too long...

Now I need to find a new one...

I would really like to get some input on what you would suggest ???

I looked at the northridge.ca website and they have those : JKS, FULL TRACTION AND TERRAFLEX...

Now the Jks are really not expensive but I heard they are a really tight fit for a 2.5" lift and that they flex , is that true ??


So please tell me your opinions on what your a running or what you think would be the best for me ...

Thanks for the help

The terraflex is like double the price of the JKS, so I am inclined to go with the JKS, but I wanna make sure it will fit.. Cuz if have to spend double the price to have a perfect fit and quality, then so be it...

My axle are a little bit off-centered but not that much, so the new track bars need to be pretty much stock lenght at their shortest .....

Thanks

I have the JKS and have no issues, look at my sig for details on the rest. They are quality products. I installed a TF Adj. Front Bar on my frieds JK, VERY beefy, also fit well with the 2.5", but the JKS is much cheaper.

You don't need an adj. trac bar with a 2.5" coil lift

I too have a JKS. No problems here.

I dunno, i also am running a 2.5'' coil lift sitting on some 35''s and the current castor level does ride a little bit 'flighty' and i had heard getting an adjustable track bar to change the castor level would help with this... is this what you're thinking here as well?

Adjustable track bar won't help with the castor. You will need adjustable upper or lower control arms for that.

I disagree.

The need for one is purely subjective and varies largely between individual Jeeps.

Whether or not you "need" one at lower lift levels depends on your jeep's axle shift, and how much offcenter you can live with.

When i put my original lift on my JK a few years ago (2" BB) my front axle was off quite a bit and it bugged me, so to me, i needed it. People told me i wouldnt need one either, they where wrong. On my particular Jeep it most definetly DID matter.

Conversely a friend of mine with the same lift i had didnt use one and his axle shift is barely perceptable; mine was extremely noticable.


If his axle is offcenter and it bothers him, then he would need it.

JR-WRANGLER

It is off center and it does bother me

what about what he said about the rear sway bar links ????

I am leaning toward JKS and because the price is good, I am thinking of getting both, my rear axle is off center.. but just a little bit, not as much as the front... so should I get the rear sway bar links also ???

I already have the quick disco in the front ....

thanks

If you already have quick discos, then swapping the rears to the front would be a step backwards.

Your swaybars should sit roughly parallel with the frame with the suspension at rest (parked) if it angles down, then longer links would be the fix. As for mechanical interference and necessity, i cant say as my current lift came with longer links and Quick discos, so I just installed them as per the directions and never really thought about it beyond that.
