You should be able to get the stock takeoffs for dirt cheap if you want stock. Other than that, there's tons of companies that make heavy duty or adjustable ones. Check out the Teraflex one for example, pretty beefy

What's wrong with the Mopar OEM track bar?

nothing is wrong with the Mopar, it's just that I want something better than stock for the same price.

If you're still at 2.5" of lift and have a raised track bar bracket on the front axle, then the OEM is your best bet. They have bonded rubber bushings at each end so they stay quiet and don't need the maintenance that the other types of ends will.

I am still at 2.5" but have added a leveling kit. I don't know if I have a raised track bar bracket, do I need one? Someone recommended a moog track bar but I can't find one for the jk. Thanks for your input.

Yeah, it looks like you have a raised track bar bracket on the axle side.
