Default Rear Trackbar bracket or adjustable trackbar or both.

right now I am running a stock track bar with JKS reinforcment brace on axle side and a rough country drop down bracket on the frame side.

I want to get rid of the RC bracket and install a adjustable track bar instead. Will I also need some sort of bracket as well? I have about 3 inches of lift in rear.

The RC bracket is hitting my bumpstop pad and shock body as well when I wheel. I cannot have a axle side bracket because JKS reinforment bracket would interfere I think. As far as I know the only other bracket that goes on frame side other than RC is teraflex. Should I go with that and adj bar or just the bar?

the biggest liftI will ever go to is clayton 3.5 or Rockkrawler 3.5.

I am going to order something today so I could really use some advice on this. I would really like to ditch the RC bracket on the frame side and just get adj track bar since the bracket is hitting my shock and bump stop pad. Just dont know if this is going to adversly affect handling.

I have the jks reinforced mount on the axle side, I also at the same time welded on my cheap trackbar relocation mount to the axle side. Works great and very strong. I'll put a pic later. I did some Google searches but can't remember who made the mount. I have an adjustable bar and a 4 inch lift, with a lot of weight so its probably less, I recommend the teraflex rear bar because it will adjust shorter then most bars, I had to cut my rock crawler. I like the set up because the bar is more horizontal. That being said most people run just an adjustable trackbar in the rear that I see. Hope that helps.

I'm not 100% sure but I'd say your best bet is getting some advice from Dave @ Northridge, he'll steer you the right way I'm sure.

The first is the relocation mount on the stock broken mount, the second is the whole setup I installed.

The big one around the axle is the jks one. The one welded and fabricated to it I can't remember. I thought it was from a fabtech lift kit.

You need either one or the other, not both. Personally I would go with an Adj trackbar and not a bracket which is why I chose the lift I did.
