Has anyone installed the RockKrawler front track bar bracket gusset kit to strengthen the bracket, I'd like some first hand info and a couple of pics wouldn't hurt. I'm probably don't need one but I'd rather be safe than sorry, also does anyone know any other companys making this type of kit, I could not find one for the rear at all. Thanks in advance for any info.

Check out Rusty's Offroad.

 

Currie Rock Jock makes a great kit that gets welded in place and is beefy as hell:

Wow that looks really beefy, I went on currie's website and found that they have a rear kit also, I only have a 2" BB does anyone know how much axle shift you would get those kits, I was going to order both front and rear Full traction adj track bars but the currie set up looks about 2". I'm only 1/8" off center in the front and 3/8" off in the rear, so I dont want to over compensate, and if I put the kit in the front will that cause bumpsteer because of the angle change. Sorry for the million questions but I'm still a newb and dont want to make any costly mistakes, Thanks for all the great info.

Honestly, if you're just 1/8" off, you really shouldn't bother with installing a track bar relocation bracket as it will end up over-correcting your shift as you've guessed. In fact, a lot of adjustable track bars have a minimum lenght that is too long as well. If you're looking to reinforce what you have now, take your Jeep to a welding shop and have them gusset what you have. It'll be cheaper to do and is all you really need anyway.

 

Thanks for the quick info WOL, thats probably what I'll do.

I put the Rock Krawler gusset kit on my last November, running 35's and then went rock crawling. I'm happy with it. BTW, we finish welding the factory welds on the front and rear track bar brackets. If anyone has looked at them there only about half the distance of the metal.
