But I am trying very hard to be patient, and let the Mfgs get the bugs out.. I imagine I will put one one later this summer.. Not to much 4wheeling here on the low end of Fla. But I have places to go in GA. and NC. this winter..

I am also watching to see what Donahoe is bringing out, abet it will be expensive..

SO.. we wait, and study..

Im upgrading to the Teraflex track bar. Im really unhappy with the FT bar, when I first installed it was a very tight fit. I had to hammer the upper part into the metal slot. Im not sure if it was because of how tight it was but it made a lot of noise and wore down the rubber very quickly. I ordered new rubber pieces from FT and replaced them and this time installed some white lithium grease. It is not as noisy as before but I still hear a pop and squeak every now and then. Im hoping the teraflex heim joints will work better. Ill soon find out.

Yeah iv posted this in several other threads. Iv seen people that are happy with the FT track bars, maybe mine is just a weird one. Oh and yes im sure I installed it correctly and tightened all the bolts down to the recommended torque.

Anybody has any opinion on Superlift Adj. Track bars? they seem to be the cheapest of the three (tera, superlift, and FT).

I'll be putting this along with 2" RE BB. I know it's only 2 inch, but i want the axle perfectly centered, even with only a minimal lift

I am as anal as they come, I installed the BDS 3 in lift, and the axle offset is only 3/16 inch, read this post for mor e details.

Also, I am considering the superlift front adjustable track bar, 119.00 cost

oops. almost forgot, those that are having trouble with the aftermarket track bars, are you installing them with the car, oops, there went a cat!
JEEP on the ground and not up on the lift? (this is VERY important step!
