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.
Your right about that, it would be nice to not have to use a ratchet strap, or a brute to tug the axle in place.

ratchet strap???

If you are doing the front just turn the steering wheel to center the frame over the axle , take your measurment and your done.

For the Rear you just have to lightly push on the tub and you can line it up.

Trackbars are a very easy install and a 1 time adjustment item unless you change out springs .

So far JKS makes some heavy duty stuff, i have the discos. I must admit, that though Teraflex bars aren't as "flashy" they are imho bullet proof.

I have a JKS rear trackbar and installed quite a few other JKS trackbars on customers Jeeps and I have never had or heard of any problems with them.
