Default JKS Front Track Bar and Sector Shaft Reinforcement with RK Track Bar?

I've been looking for some ways to strengthen/tighten up my steering and i came across the JKS Track Bar + Sector Shaft Reinforcement Kit. Looks like good stuff.

Anyone have experience with this or running it themselves??
I'm wondering if it will work with my Rock Krawler Track Bar??

Any other thoughts on how to improve/strengthen my steering??

also been looking at the PSC Motorsports Extreme Trail Cylinder Assist Kit.

If your running 35's or smaller tires I don't think a sector shaft brace is needed. Just my opinion.

I purchased this kit, and am on the border about it. It is a nice setup, however in my case I can't use the sector shaft reinforcement part due to me not having enough lift to clear it:/ I myself am running their tack bar so I'm not to sure about if rock krawler's would work. If I were you I would contact jks directly and see if they had any advice.

I've been eye balling the track bar mount and I didn't think it would fit.

Knowing is half the battle and remember kids knowledge is power.

Curious as to how high a lift you have that it doesn't clear?

I believe they specify that a minimum of 3 inches is required to run this kit, although with their redesign that just took place and their new trackbar that goes with this kit, I remember talking with JKS about it working with as little as a 2.5 lift. You may want to call them about it. I run a 4" lift and this thing is tha bomb it tightens up the steering and gets rid of that "clunk" issues that a lot of people run into over time with the steering.

I'm running this set up with an aev 3.5" lift....I don't notice a thing, but I installed it for trail insurance, so I wasn't expecting a different driving experience.

really? I was getting bad steering clunk, kinda why I opted for it. It helped out a lot and the added reinforcement is welcome.
