Is having a TF monster track bar any better than a RK, JKS, or other? I am getting ready to order a TF 2.5 coil lift, fox shocks, and track bar from my local jeep shop (prices are very good) and they are trying to push the TF monster. Granted they are an TF and AEV distributor, but carry JKS as well. I mentioned that I was looking at RK track bars and LCAs and I was not getting much love towards RK, but I know their products are solid. Ultimatly I will purchase what I want for my rig.
I know the TF is pretty beefy (and more expensive) but is it going to be any more solid than a RK or JKS and warrant the additional cost? Thanks and Happy New Year all!

 

Everyone has a company they like. Which typically means everything else is slightly more inferior or just down right crap. That being said I am personally a big fan of using parts from the same company as a system. That way you know if you have any issues you can call that one company if you need help and they wont try to blame the failure or problem on the other companies parts. Of the companies you have listed I don't think that anyone could really say that they make bad products. Just different.

 

I was advised that the JKS is every bit as good as the TF. I went with the JKS and am very satisfied.

 

I have two JKUs and they both have TF 2.5 coil lifts, Bilstein shocks, and JKS front track bars. No problem whatsoever. The TF one is beefier but the JKS one gets the job done and significantly cheaper.

 

I always thought JKS products were pretty solid and was even looking at the JSPEC 2" coil lift, but it seemed a little spendy at $1,200 plus clams and still need shocks. The TF coil lift, fox shocks, track bar, and AEV geomatry bracket is going to come in under $1,300.

 

I like their track bar and LCAs as well. I may opt for the JKS and free up a few $ without sacrificing quality.

 

I have not seen a RK trac bar but I can tell you that the TF trac bar is a monster just as its called. It's huge thick beefy.

 

x2 I installed this with my lift, and the thing truly was a "monster"

 

the teraflex can be adjusted on the vehicle. this can make things way easier. the jks cannot. ive owned both and rec the tf. it also has a flattened area where it crosses in front of the diff cover. this can be huge if u have a ton of up travel. the jks can rub the diff cover.

 

I have the terflax also and its nice. The customer service out at teraflex has been second to none as well. Although... I am still worried about the design of adjusting link. It seems like a major weak point and have heard talk of it breaking at the adjustment link where either side connects via that link.
