Default Track Bar Bracket

Despite still not having my hands on new tires yet, I want to see about fixing up some of my geometry on my rig. I currently have the old man emu 2 inch lift with standard springs, so it nets between 2-3 inchs. I plan on adding a bumper next week, and stuffing some spacers in there too to net around 3 inchs of lift. I want to add a track bar bracket, and I keep hearing good things about the Teraflex one, but I can't figure out which to buy. I'm assuming http://www.teraflex.biz/jk-wrangler-...ift.html#third is what I want? Thanks for the help

If your looking for geometry correction, look towards the evo flip kit. Drag ling flip and axle tb bracket with reinforcement and stabilizer relocation.

yeah the evo kit was on my list, I was waiting till I broke my steering again. And I'm working on buying buying a couple of parts off someone here, and the bracket was in the kit, so I should be good there, but thanks!

why did you get a rhd? that always confuses the hell out of me, rhd being for sale in the states

oh really? I had no idea. I mean I figured adjusting the steering components took some working, but I assumed you could just stick a flip kit in there at any point

City carriers use post office vehicles, but rural carriers have to provide their own vehicles. We get paid mileage.Most use cars without center consoles and drive from the passenger seat. A lot of carriers use Cherokees that are either factory RHD or have been converted. The post office gives you a $1000 for getting a new RHD or $500 for buying a used RHD as an incentive because it's much safer to drive on the route. There are other mail carriers on the forum with RHD JK's, but I think mines the biggest. It's hard to reach the boxes so I really can't go any higher.
