Default Quick question about rear track bar...

So, I need to install my train horns under the tub on my jeep, but my rear track bar is in the way. If I unbolt one side to drop the track bar so I can fit the horns in, am I going to have any issues trying to get it back in? Or should I put the jeep on jack stands and then drop the track bar?

Let me know, thanks...

When i installed my lift, i was able to remove the rear trackbar with the jeep on the ground and re-install it with no issues. Just dont push/move the axle or the jeep as you want it to stay centered to reinstall the trackbar

If u can't get the bolt back in, lay on your back and use your foot behind the bumper or somewhere solid and push the body which way u need it to go in order for the bolt to go in.

The body should be unloaded if it's on flat ground. As a result your track bar should unbolt and bolt back in without issue. As stated earlier aligning the bolt up is as easy as pushing the body one way or another. I just bump it with my hip and then re-check. It's really easy.

Awesome, thanks for some more tips/pointers. Plan on mounting the train horns under the tub and as stated, the track bar gets in the way...
