Default Who has front and rear adj track bars?

Im looning for somebody that has the 3" ft Lift. I'm hoping to benefit from somebody that has this setup and has had it aligned already. I want to know the center-to-center measurements. That way I can get a good idea on where to start when I install the lift. Thanks in advance.

I have them. What do you need measured again?.. If you wait a couple days. Wayoflife will be doing a full write up of the install on his 4 door.

I know that there were some issues with the rear trackbar mount breaking. If it were to break when there is a new bracked added, im sure they would tell me that the added stress on the mount broke it......therefore the extra 150 for the bar is good insurance and also help to alightthe Jeep better. Thats why I ordered mine.

Its really not that hard to get the right adjustment on the track bars. Just measure from your frame or body to the outside of the tire on each side. Take the difference and divide it by 2. Thats how much longer than the stock one the new track bar should be. It still might take some tweaks to get the axles perfect. (so if your 10.25" on the driver side and 10.00" on the passenger side then the tracck bar needs to be roughly .125" longer than stock. I say roughly because the trackbar is slanted and you would have to get into some trig and measure some angles to get the perfect equation. Trial and error works much better.)

I doubt you will be able to take someone elses measurments and make them work. After measuring my own I had to adjust 3 more times to get it perfect. You really need to drive inbetween adjustments then re-measure to see how close you are. Expect it to take a couple of hours but then you shouldn't have to mess with it agian. Also after adjusting the trackbar your going to re-adjust your steering wheel.
