I have the TF 2.5 BB spacer kit in the rear of my JK... i just recently purchased a 2.5" TF rear Frame mounted trackbar bracket.

Questions is... what do i need to do to install it... I was thinking the following steps:

1. loosen trackbar bolt on frame
2. loosen rear passenger wheel lugs
3. to suspend the rear end on stands on frame
4. jack rear passenger side axle
5. remove passenger side wheel
6. remove trackbar bolt at frame
7. lower axle to clear trackbar
8. measure hole to be drilled on frame mount and drill hole
9. install bracket
10. install trackbar
11. put the rest back together.

Are there any tricks to lining up the rear trackbar after the bracket is installed???

any other helpful tips

thanks all! I love boltin on stuff whether i need it or not.

 

bump... someone had to have installed this... or it would not exist.

 

Yeah I got a tip for you. When I had my bracket on (before the adj. trackbar) I found the bracket didnt want to slide in to the frame bracket well. I few quick trips to the bench vise made it fit perfect, get ahold of a bench vise if you can.

 

Easiest way to be dead on is to hold the piece of paper up to your frame and shine a light behind it. It will match up perfectly. Then mark the center of the hole with a tap or something, and sequence tap the hole out (start small, drill bigger until final size)

Done.

Also, if you dont have a vice like stated above, take out your stock road jack while its compressed, stick one end into the frame where your bracket will stick up into, then slowly open your jack and spread out the frame slightly to get the bracket in.

When you bolt it down it will be good to go.

 

thanks all... those tips will be extremely helpful!

 

I did the vice thing as well and worked like a charm. Then I held the bracket in place and drilled the hole from the rear. Very easy since the bracket has the hole in it already.
