Default JKS spring mounts and TF trackbar bracket...

has anyone installed the JKS rear spring perches and a teraflex monster track bar bracket?? i believe there will be a bit of modding to get the driver side to work..

i was wondering if anyone has done this, and what u had to modify.
i searched and found alot of older helpful threads with installs, but not one with the TF bracket.
thanks.

I got perches on the way also. I plan on doin this sat...
I will post my findings also.
Hopefully someone has done this and can chime in...

Figured id elaborate a bit...
Had rk wedges in for months. I recently upgraded all my arms to tf adj control arms. Now the rear springs are hitting the track bar jamnut.. jks.. and the TF track bar bracket bolt that is for the track bar. springs are quite bowed even with the wedges.
My pinion angle is perfectly set.. driveshaft and diff are at same degree.
and my front caster is 6 degrees... positive
Jeep drives alot better with the arms except this rub issue.

So hopefully the perches solve my problem as in most threads I read it fixed it.

We have the JKS rear adejustable spring perches and the Teraflex rear monster trackbar relocation bracket..... you WILL need to mod the drivers side perrch to make it all fit. From what I remember you will need to reduce the overall size and reweld the part that wraps around the axle tube.

Thanks.man!! I saw in older threads that u put these on! Was hoping u would post...
After the mod did u have to weld the perch on, or could u still bolt it on???
I'm guessing the back part needs to be trimmed to clear the bracket..

The perches still use the 2 large u-bolts..... basically the perch is too wide to work with the Teraflex mount. We decided to trim the the JKS perch and move the lower part of the bracket more inward. Welded it back on and we are good to go..... I'll try to take some pics and post them up. It's a tight fit.... not sure what the pics will show. We did this on both of our JK's...... one even had the JKS rear trackbar mount weld on strength bracket..... modded that as well to have everything fit. You willl be limited on how far you can adjust the springs on the drivers side but it should be more than enough to correct the cupping issue.

Before we relocated the perches our springs actually became damaged because of how bad they cupped......
