trackbar lengths

cant you just cut the stock trackbar and weld in a piece of rebar to it with a 110 volt welder??????:laugh2:

read: lots of sarcasm in the above posted comment!

seriously, i just had to replace a POS cRustys trackbar with a TRE at the frame end. it snapped when wheeling with only 4.5" lift. driving home with a ratchet strap and lots of rope trying to keep the axle centered is not fun.

i ended up buying a new TRE as a patch to make my jeep roadable until a more perminant solution is available. it broke two weeks ago and i am saving pennys (scrounging for everything i can) to get a rock krawler track bar and bracket. i was able to find it for $186 plus tax and shipping at a local retailer. hopefully i can get it in the next couple weeks.

add one to the tally for the do it right the first time

Here's what happened when a aftermarket trackbar is applied improperly. And you want to screw around and lengthen a stock trackbar?! Seriously, this is coming from a guy who drove with cut/extended stock shocks for a month while waiting for my new lift to come in.

He did too, i have pics....:wave: But i won't show them...


Is this better? I want 4 new tires or i'll post the pics... LOL

Track bar length and draglink length should be equal, and operate on the same plane.
This being said, I'd dare bet that most of us are running track bars that, while on the same plane, are slightly shorter than the draglink, without bumpsteer issues.
