Best front adjustable trackbar?
 
I put on a RoughCountry 4 inch lift last summer and have been a little bit worried recently about the trackbar relocation bracket on the thing. Looks like it puts a lot of stress on the factory bracket. Have been researching it a little bit on this site and looks like my worries are warranted. Would like to get a decent adjustable trackbar for the thing, and wondering mainly which ones to stay away from. Don't really know a lot about this stuff and am learning as I go. Was the first lift I've ever put on anything, and learned a lot doing it. But definatly believe now that I need to get an adjustable trackbar and get rid of the relocation bracket that's on there. Any input would help. Thanks.

Can of worms you're opening here. The consensus seems to be that the Teraflex bar is great because you can adjust it while it's on the Jeep, but that the (modified) JKS bar is a solid design as well. You're not gonna go wrong with either--it's just a question of whether the extra convenience of the TF bar is worth the extra cost.

I just recieved my JKS and it is solid, very heavy duty. It will go on my TF 3" lift.

Either way I do not think you can go wrong. Just go by price and what you want to spend. I only got the JKS because it was a solid $50 cheaper. Thats a tank of gas.

The JKS instructions show adjusting it while disconnected on 1 end so thats something to consider, but after installed it shouldnt change I wouldnt think

I bought the teraflex track bar after hearing a few issues with the jks one. Nothing against jks, I do have their quick disco's, but I wanted to buy one and not ever worry about it. Just my 2 cents

:thumbsup:to the teraflex monster bar, one beefy piece and really nice to adjust.

I just installed the TF adj. this weekend. Installation was a snap and easy to adjust after it is installed. Very heavy and well made. Much stronger than stock.

I remember negative comments about the JKS. But, didn't it go through a redesign in the last few months? Regardless, I have the TF Monster and it's very nice. But, the point about little advantage once installed is well-taken.

Looks like the Monster bar is half again more than the JKS. Is it worth it? Also is Rubicon express anygood. That's what the local shop is trying to sell me. He says that it's quite a bit better than the JKS, for the same money.

The JKS bar has been completely redesigned. Lots of people on here use it and have had zero problems with it.

Honestly, the factory track bar mounts are a much bigger concern than what track bar you run. If anything's going to fail, it'll probably be the factory welds.

It ties in with your trackbar and welds up to the passenger side frame. Definitely some solid reinforcement. :thumbsup:

Toad, the experts keep telling me that your solution won't work with a 2.5" lift, but I'm having a hard time seeing why. Do you see the same issue? :thinking:
