Default front trackbar opinions

I need an adjustable front trackbar for a 3.5" lift. what brand is going to give me the most trouble free miles. I do about 20,000 miles a year, so i'd like it to be basically maintenance free, smooth and quiet on the street. I dont rock crawl, just use it on the beach and some unimproved roads (very rutted) in vermont. I think i have it narrowed down to jks or teraflex, but im open to whatever recommendations you may have. thanks

I have the TF trackbar and it has served me well. JKS also makes great products. Either one would be the right choice

You can adjust the TeraFlex #1753418 trackbar in place on JK. If you have any questions, please call me.

What kind of lift do you have? I try to keep all my stuff from the same people if I can.. I know some companies focus more on one type of product than another, but I like to use the same people when I find someone I like..

I run JKS trackbars front and rear and they have been great. The rear just barely rubs my TeraFlex D60 diff cover at full stuff. My jeep mechanic at Rebel Off Road told me the Teraflex trackbar wouldn't rub. The rubbing is so little I'm not worried and don't plan to replace anytime soon.

I went with the Teraflex trackbar for the following reasons:

1. It works with a no lift stock setup and I don't have to toss it when I get my lift.
2. It is beefy.
3. I don't have to drill out my trackbar sleeve to use the 9/16 bolt (I have a 12)
4. It is adjustable on the Jeep.
5. Aside from the turnbuckle....it looks pretty factory and might fool some warranty voiders.
