JKS vs Currie Front Track Bar

I couldn't get that bracket to stay tight. It would come loose and get aweful death wobble. If you are bent on a rough country product then get this one

though you'd be better off with a jks track bar

Good to note man - I appreciate the feedback. I went ahead and replaced the one I ordered for the one you recommended. Hopefully it works out. I'd get a jks but it's out of budget now with all the other shit we have planned to do short term.
btw I don't know shit about Jeeps, we just got into this.
Here are a couple links to get you started depending on tire size. Look in the how to and resources section for factory service mauals you can download and other good info.

Easy decision. 80+ 4.5+ reviews secures my trust to try it.
I doubt the Currie will last thru 2 of the JKS, and I have seen the JKS name alot
it's simply a matter of middle man markup for majority of the difference.

You never quit with the dumbass review shit, do you? You need to buy one of those 17,000 review TV antennas so you will finally get it.
JKS front track bars used to be made by Mark H. in SoCal. He also made the same one for Currie at the time. They were both the exact same part. When John Currie pulled the part in house to produce it themselves, he made some changes. The shape was improved, the barrel was gusseted, and there were several options added to the axle end depending on which bolt size you need and what joint you preferred.
The wall thickness of the tube was increased a bunch to make a stiffer part. Those details and improvements added cost. Has not a fucking thing to do with middleman mark-up. John kept those improvements in place when he separated from Currie and started Rock Jock 4x4.
From your unbiased position, why won't the Currie last thru 2 of the JKS?
Yep, and caster being compromised along with the axle being pushed too far forward.

You never stop swingin off nuts do you??
I gave an opinion of what I would do
ZFG if you disapprove
Address the rest of his response to you and explain why he is incorrect in his correction as to why the two track bars are completely different products.
I know you won't. But you should, if you can.
Showing someone where they are completely incorrect in their assertions is not any more nut swinging than their review driven choices. I also made no recommendation, merely pointed out why your claim that the difference in cost is not middleman mark-up, but instead, a full and complete difference in how the two products are manufactured. And I fully expect you to walk away from those bits of correct information having still absorbed none of it with your continual displays of wilfull ignorance. You are incapable of learning but it is fun trying to teach you.
Completely different with an associated difference in cost of manufacturing. But yes, you are correct in that he won't. He is an expert after all.
Let me get this correct, your unbiased opinion is based off reviews?
If that is truly what you are saying, that has to be one of the more asinine things I’ve read.
Read that out loud to yourself a few times
Thank god I’m local to Currie and I can order my parts direct and cut out the expensive middle man. I save exactly $0.00 doing so
Mind if I borrow this one and use it on the 3 yr after he fucked around and found out. I feel like I can say this in my head and smile while we wipe up the tears.
