Default skyjacker Front track bar Bracket?

Anyone using the skyjacker front track bar bracket with a teraflex budget boost? I have the rear bds bracket on the way, just stumbled across the front bracket on quadratec's site and thought it might be a cheaper way out on the adjustable track bar for the front.

You'll regret it.. I had one.. Got onto a on-ramp to the freeway the Jeeps weight shifted.. And snaped the bracket right off the axle..

Agreed - this is not something that you want. Plus, without a dropped pitman arm to go with it (something you really don't need), your drag link and track bar will no longer be parallel and that'll give you other problems.

Thats what i figured, I will save my money for the track bar. I am not sure I will need it after I install the rear bracket according to the write up on Project JK, but Mine is a two door and the project is a 4 door. I will install the rest of the parts and the rear bracket and go from there. my steering wheel is still straight after the lift so I am still kinda wondering if I will need the front track bar. it drives straight down the road when I let go of the wheel, but it does pull to the left a little under hard braking. any thoughts?

2-door or 4-door, I honestly don't think you'll need the brackets. And, if you're not having any problems with steering or ESP issues, I'd just leave well enough alone
