I'm about to pull the trigger and purchase this to beef up that rear bracket. Should you ever decide to beef up your rear drive shaft in the future (and have to rotate your axle up in the process), I think reinforcement of the axle and frame trackbar brackets should be high on the to-do list....

What I really need to find is someone that has made an angled and beefed up axle trackbar bracket. Here's the JKS angled version but unfortunately it's not really beefed up...

...although it looks like this one might work....

There are tons of track bar brackets out there. Ballistic, blue torch fab, genright, ruff stuff, barnes, brink, wfo, and artec all have heavy duty track bar brackets. Most of them also have multiple mounting points so you can fine tune you height to your lift. Cut that old weak junk factory bracket off and install a HD model. Don't forget to rotate it back a bit if you have a lift so things line up right.
You wanna weld it on for me?

Haha lol...
Believe me, if I had at least a couple of years welding experience doing multiple projects on a daily (not just 1 or 2 small welding jobs over the course of those 2 years), all of these damn stock brackets would have been off years ago.

I typically have about $2k in brackets and link/rod ends in the shop if you are ever in the area and are in need of a repair don't hesitate to look me up. I also have some tie rods, drag links, track bars, and some factory axle shafts in the spare parts pile.

Sounds good. Will do!
I've got some good friends out in Reno and we've been talking about hitting some mountain bike trails in the area. If I haul out there, I'll have to swing by to see the infamous Dirtman's rig!

So the bracket that came with your lift (Item #: OGS170), is it actually angled at the top like the smaller bracket on the 2nd pic (Item #: OGS160)?
It doesn't look like it from what I can tell on the JKS website and pics....

The whites creek/thomas creek trail is very popular with bikers and is right next door to me.
