I need some suggestions on a good adjustable rear track bar and relocation bracket. I can't find just the track bar on Curries website or Savvy which is what I would prefer. I was looking at the JKS OGS151
Probably will upgrade shocks also when I swap axles. Trying to by a house and 10 acres at the moment so I can't have any downtime with my TJ. I will have a small hangar for a garage if everything goes through!!!
Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.
 
I use the Metalcloak rear trackbar, and I have not had any clearance issues with it.

Google Currie TJ Rear Trackbar and the second hit should provide you a PDF with all of their options and the part numbers.

Do you have a SYE and CV driveshaft? If so, you will need the angled bracket.

The OGS151 is the trackbar I went with. I don't remember why I chose the JKS over the Currie, because they were both contenders. I ended up modifying mine due to a new trackbar mount. I had to lengthen it. It was painful.

I am cheap. Nth Degree provide a Grand Cherokee rear track bar with my LA kit. Many modification later my rear axle housing was no longer centered. I got a much simpler relocation bracket from kNowwheretojeep. Welded it on and still had more modifications. So I just made an addition of plate steel and welded it to the bracket. My track bar is not adjustable but with several holes it is right where it needs to be. Total cost: about $10

Metalcloak's marketing guy is certainly "creative" lol. The description of their track bar claims it gives a better roll center. That is pretty funny since it mounts between the two exact mounting points as any other track bar does that makes use of a standard track bar relocation bracket as theirs does.
