X2 on the 0-2" brake lines.....I will probably do that. I may try to find a drop brakcet for a temp fix though. Or if bama-jk makes some, then I will become agent 00JK and sniff around his secret shop!!!

My Teraflex lift came with a drop bracket that added roughly 2", but my brake lines are still like piano wire when at full flex. Next time we ride (or meet for some wings), remember to check out my bracket.

Not a bad idea - he's demonstrated quite an aptitude for fabricating nice "home grown" JK mod solutions.

Anyone have an adjustable track bar or the track bar bracket that they need to sell?

Congrats on the Hankooks!!

Sorry, don't have anything laying around. Denny and I both went with JKS track bars - he front and rear, me just the front as my TF bracket did a nice job re-centering everything. Price was reasonable, they have a great rep, and we both decided tracking of the wheels is probably a bit more important than some on this forum realize (it eliminated some of the minor ESP issues that Denny occasionally experienced).

Speaking of ESP issues, I always smile when I read someone saying they have axle offset, and have been driving around perfectly fine that way for months, only to read in another thread them mentioning their ESP system randomly activates (they never connect the dots). I originally had no intention of getting an adjustable track bar, but it's very evident as I read older posts by many guys who have installed 2-3" lifts that, like myself, they've later added adj track bars too (sometimes they mention it, but often, the mod just shows up in their signature).

In5ane, did you install new sway bar links yet? 3" of lift is a lot for the stock links - unless you're using the links to prevent the shocks from extending too far.

Here's a link to Denny's post re track bars, and sway bar links.
