Default Track Bar - Recommendations????????

Hey all,


I think I need to lose my track bar relocation bracket and stock track bar to upgrade to an adjustable track bar.


What do you guys recommend??

JKS
Teraflex
Full Traction
Currie?

I am running a 3.5" lift with dual SS and ARB diff covers so not sure if any of these will conflict with any of the above.


Thanks,

I have 3.5 in of lift also, I played around with a few things regarding steering.
first tried a cheep track bar relocation bracket, got death wobble and was terrible.
next I tossed the bracket and added the JKS adjustable, this made it livable but still not content.

At one time I added the following that made it 100% better as good or better than stock.

1. Belstien steering stablizer
2 High steer kit, it included a High quality axle mounted bracket and a oversize drag link that is flipped, retained the JKS trackbar.

This was the best money I have spent, not waisted on my JK, it is almost as if I do not have 35" tires anymore, that much better.

i also removed the upper rear track bar relocation bracket and replaced with a axle mounted bracket.

I have the AEV lift, high steer with Teraflex Monster trac bar and a frame side trac bar reinforcement bracket. Also put a currie Tie rod and a Moog end on the stock drag link. My steering is right as hell now!

Front or rear. I've had 3 different adjustable bars and by far the new Teraflex one is the best. It's the easiest to adjust, the strongest (I've cut the old ones to see the thickness and to shorten one) and no noise. Also I like to run a rear track bar relocation bracket and, gusset it with a jks bracket, to keep my trackbar more level. This required a shorter trackbar then most of what the aftermarket companies made, the TF bar will go short enough. Also needed a shorter one for my front setup.

Teraflex Monster Track bar all the way. It's beefy and easy to adjust. Been running it for months now on some of the toughest trails and it hasn't let me down.

Default Jks!

I just installed a Teraflex 2.5 and installed JKS adjustables with it. They were easy to adjust and the lock nut has stayed locked with the help of heavy amounts of blue Loctite after 400 miles. They are definately beafier and heavier than stock and the Jeep drives wonderfully. Highly recommended!

There are plenty of very good options available, I felt the JKS's were what I needed and at a price that made sense to me.
