I'm running the Superlift bracket. Is that the one you are having problems with?

No it doesn't. I've had that one for a couple of years with no problems. It also has three holes so centering your axle without an adjustable trackbar is easy.

And how can you tight the bracket??? Because the stress on the bracket destroy the welds... Can't the stress blow a simple nut? LOL

Part of the TF bracket bolts to your rear lower control arm mount and the axle side of it has a big u-bolt to tighten it to the axle. A very strong design imo. You could also add some welds to it if you wanted, but they're not needed imo. I've been running it with my jks rear adj trackbar, no issues.

just get a track bar and call it a day. I have JKS track bars and never had any problems. brackets seem unsafe.
