Which adjustable front track bar?

[derekmac]

I'm planning on finally getting an adjustable front track bar, and I'm looking for thoughts on which to get. I have 3" of lift in the front.

These are what I'm looking at as they are in my price range (around $180 Canadian).

Rock Krawler RK05194
Rubicon Express RE1600
Rough Country 7572

Look at JKS. Other wise Rock Krawler

Currie or JKS. I wouldn't install the other three, though I did install the RE1600 years ago on a previous TJ and wasn't impressed with it.

Ok, I think I'll go with the JKS. It's more than I want to spend, but as they say, buy once cry once, lol.

Rough country track bar, don’t trust their brand too much anymore other than that, its not anything flashy but it’s very solid and joints seem good

One thing I like about theirs is that they use a Moog Problem Solver TRE which is cheap and easy to find.

I recently went with a MetalCloak track bar with my OME HD lift. No issues so far.

A while back, due to user error, my JKS trackbar had its retainer spring pop out of the johnny joint. I purchased replacement parts but could not figure out how to press the spring back in. There are no good tools for this and I cannot find a local shop with a press, other than a Currie tool which costs $100.

So I purchased a used Currie trackbar and now have the JKS sitting around. If you are interested in used for maybe 4 months, and can press the spring back in, you can save a couple bucks. If interested I can send you pics.

MetalCloak, JKS or Currie: Any of those three, depending on how much you want to spend. All do a great job with clearance of the stock diff covers.

Get the JKS, and never think about it again. Yes, it's a bit more money, but it is very heavy duty. The johnny joint on the frame end is huge, and the axle side has a very nice rubber bushing. No weird NVH.

How much $?

How much $?

Haven't thought about it so a reasonable offer. I assume shipping will be like $30-$40. PM me with a number if you are interested.
