Default 2013 Jeep Wrangler track bar question

Can anyone tell me dimension center to center on a stock OEM trackbar? Helping a buddy out with his Jeep to take it back closer to stock but he wants to replace the trackbar to stock length

dvibbert, question for you ... your buddies 2013JK has stock suspension, stock springs ? my concern is that if it has a lift the trackbar dimension would not be the same as stock and it will shift the axle over to the drivers side a bit.

Default Trackbar

It has rubicon springs with spacer for leveling. He just want to take it all back to stick and the trackbar dimension is his biggest question

I measured an old stock track bar take off and it checked to be 32 3/8".

That spacer for leveling, even if small, is going to throw that measurement off a touch. In this case it's pretty simple if using an adjustable bar cuz you just need to center that axle regardless of what the length is. That is a good starting measurement but you still may need to tweak it a touch longer due to the spacer on top of the spring.

I agree with everything said. He is now taking it all back to stock and removing spacers and installing the original springs. Thank you all for the information
