here you go. I can get a pict of mine installed if you like. I had the jks and it wore out in 8 months. It is not 1/4" unless they are making a new one.

Shit man, were talking about 2 different things, I have their lower piece that's welded on and that's not 1/4" their upper brace is, sorry for the confusion.

Upper mount. I have the JKS track bar. They are coming out with a new one soon that will work with the steering box brace, the current track bar will not work with it . FYI

Funny I just got off the phone with their tech about using the Sector shaft steering kit with their track bar and he said it would work with my size lift but the newer version is for under 3 inch lifts since that;s where they were having the issues with it not fitting. 
Kinda why I ordered it up, guess I'll have to see when it gets here.

So in your opinion is the JKS a good tracbar? I've looked at the full traction as well. They both seem on par. Only thing is I can't find out what bolt size to use with the full traction TB. I guess they want you to reuse the old bolts... which I don't want to do. I really think that the threads on the factory bolts are part of the cause. They act like a dang rat-tail file in there.
Get in the routine of checking all your bolts with each oil change or at least every other oil change. if you mark the bolt with a dab of paint, you can at a glance see if anything has worked loose.

Hey Dirtman, did you actually try to for the steering brace up with the JKS trackbar? I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't work exactly and why they'd make a product that doesn't work with their original components. Jeeps looking sick, and I've been meaning to order up those spacers for my MTR's.
