Rear Track Bar and Upper Control Mount Bracket

[gasiorv]

My rear left upper control arm axle bracket broke off this past weekend, taking the rear track bar bracket with it. The upper control arm mount is pretty mangled and I plan on just welding on a new bracket; however, I was wondering if anyone knew if a bracket existed that already incorporated the raised and angled track bar mount? I found this one from currie for a 3" tube, I have a stock Dana 44 so I believe mine is 2.75", but it should work. https://www.currieenterprises.com/CE-7100UL.
It doesn't specifically state, but I believe the currie bracket is angled for the pinion.

Most likely I will just cut off my existing TB mount and tack it back onto the new Upper control arm mount, but again was just looking to see if an all in one reinforced package that contains both upper control arm mount and angled Track Bar mount. thanks!

Found a lot of good info throughout the forum today and this seems to be common problem due to the increased moment arm of the raised track bar mount and also some increased stress by still utilizing the OEM track bar. My plan is to now replace the track bar with an adjustable that has a decent joint and also look at angling the track bar mount on the axle side to account for the increased pinion angle due to the CV drive shaft. I also looked at the TCG bracket; however, I have PS Bombshell diff cover and I don't think it will mount (maybe if I make spacers at each fastener location), so I will most likely just make and weld on a brace similar to the one that Currie used to make.

Is it worth buying a new upper control arm bracket and new angled track bar relocation bracket to start from scratch, or will just welding the cracked bracket back together going to be OK if I make the changes to the track bar mounting that I noted above?

You can try Clayton offroad, barnes offroad, artec, along with several other suppliers. They all are slightly different.

Thanks. I fueled the economy and bought new beefier upper and lower control arm brackets and a new track bar. Will hopefully have her back up and rolling in a few weeks.
