Default Buy a new adj track bar or replace stock bushings?
My track bar bushings are now threaded( thanks Chrysler) and need to be replaced , also im having washers welded on the brackets due to ovaling from 14mm bolt instead of the 9/16 shoulder bolt.

Should I buy a new front track bar or just replace bushings in my stock one?
Why? Is the rough country track bar worth a damn?

09 4door 2.5 teraflex bb. 315/70 17 duratracs.

Thanks

Just go ahead and get the adj. track bar. You can center your axle back up and when you decide to add more lift your good.

Go adjustable. I'm running the JKS and have heard good things about the Teraflex one as well.

Is this a simple bolt in install i can do alone wheels on ground? Reading jks installation makes it seem more complicated.

Have jks in and it was a simple install. I highly recommend upgrading instead of repair. 10 minutes of easy work or replace stock bushings that are a pita to get in and out. Upgrade.
