Default Adjustable track bar suggestions

After installing my lift today, I realized that I will need an adjustable track bar in the front. I did install a TeraFlex 2.5" coil lift on top of the TeraFlex leveling kit that I already had.

I am interested in suggestions for a front adjustable track bar. Also, are there any differences between the brands? or are they all pretty much the same.

Also, will a track bar relocation bracket work better? Suggestions?

Terafled all the way! It's a beast. My JKS use to bow when turning and was the leading culprit of my first death wobble.

I like TeraFlex too, I just wish their adjustable track bar wasn't so damn expensive. Not cool about the JKS, I have their quick disconnects and seem very strong. Too bad because their track bar is much more reasonable in price. Which brings me to my next point, a track bar relocation bracket that will not only allow me to keep my stock track bar, but it will relocate it about 3" higher.

I would much rather spend the extra cash on an adjustable TB then buy a relo bracket!! But that's just my personal opinion

Raising your track bar mount will through off the geometry between the track bar and the drag link. You only use that type of bracket when you also do a drag link flip, which raises it as well.

I think you should just pony up for the Tera Monster TB.

The jks track bar has been changed I believe it was the first generation people had problems with, I think mines the 3rd generation, it's beefy as hell and I haven't had any issues

Teraflex is pretty stout.

I've had the JKS front adjustable track bar for about a year now. Beefy as f#ck! No problems here.

Thanks, I'm leaning towards this since it's less expensive, unless I can get a deal on a TeraFlex which would be great. I prefer to keep things things like this same brand to avoid issues later on.

I like the TeraFlex track bar too. If my AEV lift kit didn't come with one that's the brand I would have gone with. don't have any expericance with the JKS brand track bar. But I too would go with getting an adjustable track bar instead of a relocation bracket.
