Default JKS Front Trackbar bracket Brace and Woods relocation bracket

I have both the JKS trackbar bracket brace and the Woods relocation bracket ready to put on. Is the new trackbar bolt they sent with the JKS brace going to be long enough to go through the woods bracket, JKS brace, stock mount and bolt on other side? Is the small nut and bolt they sent with woods bracket going to work as well? I have a teraflex stabilizer, any other way to mount? I am taking it on wednesday to get welded on. Thanks.

I have the same setup. The teraflex ss wont work with the jks bracket. I forgot why, but they just relocated the woods relocation bracket and ive had no problems. I think the bolts were to short. just reused stock bolts

Just use the Woods relocate, jks trackbar, and TF SS. That's what I have and no problems.

It's more clear if you refer to that as the Woods (or JeepSWAG) steering stabilizer relocation bracket. While you and I know what you originally meant, many are unfamiliar with the product, especially since Brett went to a business name (JeepSWAG) for his products. Otherwise, some folks might think you're referring to some unfamiliar brand of trackbar relocation bracket.

Yes it will all work together. I have the JKS, jeepswag (woods) relocation bracket, a tierod collar, and stabilizer with swivel end. The stabilizer was one for the U-turn system on a TJ. I do not know the brand or model; I got it when redrock 4x4 stopped doing business.

With the woods backet any stabilizer will work. Even my huge one, I had to mount the body end to the tierod collar.

The only minor problem is when you add the JKS bracket it does not extend to the second bolt location of the woods bracket. So you must shim with a washer to make the bracket sit flat. Also, I used the factory bolt and nut for the trackbar and I believe I used the supplied smaller bolt with the woods bracket. You are only adding an 1/8" or so.

The brace also supports the factory CA bracket. These are prone to be ripped off, just like the factory trackbar bracket.
