I installed a RC 3.25" susp lift (over a year ago) and have seen all kinds of traffic about getting new front and rear trackbars, etc. I really don't know why. Can some help me understand why? Everything has been running absolutely great (knock, knock). I measured the wheel base 95.5" with lift. It is exactly the same as without the lift. Will things (geometry)change when I stuff 37s in?
Thanks

 

Trackbar centers your axle under the jeep. Look at the drivers side and passenger side tires. The passenger side should stick out more than the drivers side without an adjustable trackbar or extension bracket. Measure the difference if you can't see by eye.

 

I am getting 5.38s but haven't decided what brand, suggestions? Then the next dilemna is finding someone to do the work . . . the right way. I might default to a dealer even though it might cost me more money. I just want it done right.

 

I looked at the spacing from the outside of the tire to th inside of the wheel well. I didn't measure it but they look very close if not right on. Should there be a difference since the lift was added?

 

OK, then I need to measure!! My eyes are only calibrated by 1' increments. Have I been causing damage or extra stress on other parts? Should I look for wear in other areas?

 

Thanks karls10jk!!

 

JKS and I believe ORE does as well. I helped install the JKS kit with their track bar. Its very nice and sturdy. I have the rear bracket from Teraflex its plenty strong, if you chose not to run an adj TB on the back.

 

I am going to replace both. I have seen both JKs adjustable F7R for $338.

 

Just to throw this in , adj TB or not, it's a good idea to reinforce both front and rear axle mounts. They are barely welded on from the factory.
