update:

i got the broken trackbar mount welded back in place.. i also bought both the front and rear jks trackbar braces . I have to weld them in place. after that i should never have a problem. i hope..

i have a question ,i have adjustable front and rear track bars.. should i remove the trackbar relocation brackets ? i had them before i got the adjustable track bars. or should i use the adjustable trackbars with the relocation brackets.. probably dont need them right ? thanks for the help

yeah i bet that wasnt fun... i can imagine.. which one did you break the front or back? i got the JKS brackets front and back.. they look really heavy duty , i think once they are on no more worrying about the bracket.

I'm also interested in add sterght to the front track bar bracket.
What's about this ?

Rock Krawler - Front Track Bar Bracket Gusset Kit
http://www.rockkrawler.com/pages/cat...p?r_itemID=158

About the JKS Front Trackbar Brace, it's interesting but reading the description it's compatible only with 3" or above lift. Absolutely no way to use it with stock suspension or 2.5" lift ?
