This looks...
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.

Honestly, though...thats not a huge deal. Because its not like something you are going to be adjusting every few months. It should be a "set it and forget it" type ordeal (aside from checking tightness from time to time) once you get it dialed in.
The JKS has a nice price.

The JKS is not adjustable on the vehicle. You have to disconnect one side, loosen jam nut, turn the end to the desired length, re-insert bolt, tighten jam nut and retighten trackbar bolt.

Okay...
I have a 2.5" Skyjacker, no front swaybar, and no deathwobble at all... Although it DOES appear that my right front corner is a smidge lower than the rest fo the vehicle- like it is in a dive. My thought is that a adjustable TB would rectify this, any opinions?

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
