Which bracket? The one on the axle or the one on the frame? I'm in Palmdale. Is that too far for you?

I had a shop weld it on yesterday it doesn't have a replicated bracket on it and is e one on the axcle. I will take some pictures when I get home today. It has the jja bracket brass on it and that cracked as well. When they welded it back on yesterday it looked like the jeep was shifted to the right a little and was hard to put back on they had to use a bar and shift it over at least 4 inches. Could I have bent a control arm bracket a little and is causeing some stress on the track a
Bar. It's only on the rear the front is fine.

Its hard to say without seeing it. Which way was your Jeep shifted when looking from the rear of the Jeep? Do you have an adjustable trackbar?

No adjustable tracbar just the stock one. I was told by the guy at 4 wheel parts in riverside that I don't need one because it's only a two inch lift. I could get one but it wouldn't make a diff. From the rear it was shifter to the right. It's only my dd I mean I drive it like 15 miles to work and it is braking It goes off road maybe 2 times a month.what pictures would u guys like to see to get a better idea of the damage. I will get them posted tomorrow morning when I get home from my parents

Whatever pics you can take to show the damage you keep getting. Also if you can get some pics that would show us the control arms and their mounts that might help us to see if anything is bent or installed wrong. I'm at work in Burbank right now. You aren't near by are you? I'd be happy to take a look at it for you.

I have a 4inch Superlift. It's not so super when the track bar gets ripped off though. I had a guy weld on a replacement made by JKS. It still needs a little more reenforcing. I am thinking about getting the bolt on brace from Superlift to add a little more strength.
