Default JKS trackbars

So I was wondering if JKS adj trackbars are good quality, are they made for abuse and wheeling and how big of lift are they adjustable up to.

thanks

I like em - so far so good. I do also have the welded on JKS Rear Trackbar brace. I recommend that inexpensive bit of added insurance just make sure to find you a good welder.

The JKS trackbars in My opinion are the best bang for the buck as far as Trackbars go.

We sell and install a ton of them.

I'm not sure if the JKS is set up the same way but the Teraflex front track bar has a really cool feature. There is a turn buckle in the middle. So with the jeep on the ground you just loosen up two nuts and turn the turnbuckle to adjust the trackbar and move the axle. No need to jack up the jeep, or use rachet straps to move the axle. It takes about 1 minute to adjust the front axle.

I got front and rear JKS track arms from David at Northridge and they have worked great, looked great, held up great, and the price is amazing. I have to say though, if I had the option, I would pick up the Teraflex ones... just cause they are solid steel, and can be adjusted for length without removing them.

The JKS are one of the best "bang-for-the-buck" (QFT) mods I have done.

Just because some other track bars are solid steel and weigh 5 hundred pounds, does not mean that they are better. The JKS are fairly light, but are tough as sh#% and I dont think any have every broken. I think all this has been debated before.

I think being able to adjust the track arm without unbolting it makes it better. I had to use a ratchet strap to pull my jeep over while I bolted the track arm up. It would be nice to just bolt up the new one and crank it into place.

I have the JKS and have been happy with it, I just think the Tera one is built a little stronger and with the adjustment ability I think it is a smarter design.

You are right about it though... this has all been debated before.
