Had my RE 2.5" lift installed yesterday, got it in my garage for at least a month before i got it installed, and during all this time, it didn't occur to me the rear track bar bracket was in fact a rear upper track bar bracket, i always thought i was getting a rear lower TB bracket for whatever reason, even when i was looking at pictures, lol, until install time, this is when i realize i had the rear upper one, even double checked the contents of my lift and confirmed it was the rear upper one.

In any case, lift is installed, the Jeep is tracking straight, no issues at all, had it aligned after install, question is, is it advisable to keep this bracket ? or should i remove it and get a rear lower bracket instead ?

I had exact same setup.Bracket contacted shock at full compression.Rubicon Express told me to take it off its for a 3.5" lift.

Don't take my word for it call RE.

 

For $100 get the TeraFlex axle side bracket. Thank me later.

 

Thanks a lot fellas, I just ordered the TF rear tb bracket as suggested, so once I get it, I'll uninstall this upper one and install the TF piece.

 

Good move man.
