Down the line I plan on buying the savvy 4" lift kit. I also plan on doing a full tuck and I hear that people really like the jks rear adjustable track bar and relocation bracket because it gets used with the cv driveline and when at flex it won't contact your gas tank skid. But what about the currie one? I can get the currie rear track bar with the bracket in the kit and i'm just wondering if anyone had any problems with it doing a TT and such. Im just trying to save money where I can and buy it right the first time.
Currie rear track bar vs JKS rear track bar?
- Thread starter D M
- Start date
should be fine with either one as long as you have the angled bracket.
I got the JKS. I would have rather had the Currie because I have more familiarity with the Johnny Joint than JKS's "com bearing", but I wasn't going to spend the extra $150. The JKS hasn't been on long enough to vouch for it but it seems like a quality part based on visual inspection.

That seems to echo my experience with the JKS rear track bar hitting the gas tank skid. Of course that didn’t happen until the tummy tuck, but still.
I haven't had a currie side by side to compare but my jks clears the gas tank skid just fine with the 2" bump stops centered fore-aft, and at the correct pinion angle for a super short SYE and 3" lift. My spring perches are in stock location. I can't rule out the possibility that the Currie might leave more room for stretching the wheelbase a bit, or the JKS could become a problem with more pinion angle.
My previous bar was not adjustable but I don't know if it was stock. It contacted the gas tank skid right in the very front edge.
Did you ever decide on a trac bar? I'm wanted to start re-doing my POS rear setup. I did the front with Currie trackbar and Savvy control arms and have loved them, but that currie rear trac bar is $$$!

near gas tank skid at full tuck please
Im about to do my TT, stuck on the SS SYE, am done for tonight... I have front and rear JKS trac bars, UCF ultra high skid, UCF lo pro mount, and Rancho 3" springs waiting to go in. I already have rear MC DA uppers, rear Core 4x4 T1 lowers, and fox 2.0s in. Only went with JKS because I could afford it and wanted to compare quality to currie (future midarm) Now is the time to see if I should kick myself for not going with the currie rear
Ive needed to cycle my rear anyway, but it may be a couple days since I was just doing a regear over the last two
. It’s a pain with the Currie bump stops but like I said this is a good reason to get to it.
This is mine (currie) post Savvy tt at full stuff. Yours may differ. I ended up using the existing tb mount bracket installed by the po because it worked but did not have as much forward angle to it as the currie bracket has. I'll probably install the currie bracket at some point as its resting on the shelf, but for now this works. I have seen several instances where those with the jks have had interferences.
are you saying just the JKS trackbar has problems ,just the bracket, or both because I have the jks bracket and trackbar
