Default Drop track bar bracket vs adjustable track bar

Hey guys I have heard mixed things on Drop track bar bracket vs adjustable track bar. I was wanting to get some more opinions. I will be running 3in teraflex springs with 1in teraflex spacers. I have had some people say running the RC track bar bracket lined them up perfect and some people say you have to have an adjustable track bar. And.............GO

I would go with an adjustable trac bar. I run one in both the front, and the rear.

A adjustable trackbar is what I would do. Your going to be close to were you will need to address your draglink.

Adjustable is the way to go. This way if you change height later you are good too.

x2, adj track bars for both front & rear. Then for the rear you can also add a bracket as mentioned above (optional) I have an RK lift with RK adj track bar for the front and welded the RK axle mount TB bracket then added a TF adj rear track bar....

You want both in the rear. Axle bracket will raise the roll center like mentioned.
Adjustable track bar to center the axle.

Drop brackets do crap for roll center.

Ideally you want to match the roll centers front and back but that requires a raised bracket in the front. You can't raise the front TB without flipping the drag link. Doing so requires at least 3" of lift/bumpstop or your draglink will hit the frame when stuffed.

Spend your money on a drag link flip kit and keep your factory trackbar. Its very strong and will get the job done. Once your suspension moves up and down your axles not centered


factory trackbar!
