Default Rear trackbar relocation bracket + JKS brace?

I currently have a JKS weld on rear trackbar brace (axle side of trackbar) and have since added a 3" lift. Front has a relocation/flip kit and I would like to add a rear relocation bracket to match the trackbar geometry front/back. Can't seem to find a definitive answer as to which brace (if any) is compatible with the JKS brace. Any suggestions?


Thanks...

Comparable ? You will have to remove the JKS bracket. I'm assuming you want more height to match roll center to the front ?

Sticking to weld on Artec makes a inexpensive bracket with multiple mount locations.

To work with the stock bracket, Teraflex w/ the 3 holes. Secures to stock mount/axle tube and lower Ca bolt Location. .

Exactly what i want to do. Just hoping I didn't have to remove the welded JKS brace in order to do it.....

That might be a question for JKS, but just looking at the pics in the install docs it looks like it should work. The brace is welded to the bottom of the tube and wraps around to the stock bracket. And the relo bracket is attached further down the tube, and connects into the top of the stock bracket.

If I am seeing it right, anyway?

Thanks. I agree in that it looks like it will work. I will call JKS to confirm.
