Default Axle end . Track bar Mount-broken

I started off with a 3" skyjacker kit that came with a drop bracket because it was ment to use the stock track bar.

Then i added 2 " spacers and shackles along with, pro comp ajd. track bar, new sway bar links and drop pitman arm.

The first time i broke the track bar mount(axle end) I got a new one and welded it on.

Now my problem is the original track bar mount (axle end) broke and I have not a clue where to start. I know it will involve grinding and welding , thats not a problem.

My plan is to eliminate that track bar mount and find a way to rebuilt the original one and it should work out fine with my ajd. track bar.

Has anyone had this problem or can help me out?

Thankx, -J

JKS manufacturing makes a trac bar mount.

Or you can take some measurements and build a proper mount out of some scrap steel.


I dont know who did those welds... but dont let them weld your new mount on. I wouldnt trust my life on them.
