x2 mine is like 1/4 an inch too short...

 

this i probably one of the worst pieces of advice ive ever heard, EVER. hears a better piece af advice never listen to people like that they can and will get u hurt

 

Re drill the hole a 1/4 inch to the right. Look at the rough country PDF directions for the 4.5 inch lift it addresses this problem. you can find it on their website

 

seriously? why would you risk yourself and others? theres a reason you got death wobble. you vehicle is telling you its not road worthy. i would have never admit that..........

 

Well, you got to do what you got to do.

As I said I'm 18, when you have no choice you have no choice.


As we speak my Fed-ex is pulling up with my bumper )

 

lol admitted

 

u can actually line it up by turning the steering wheel when it is disconnected, ur just gonna have more tire showing out of the drivers side but that works alot better than driving it with it dicconnected

 

oops.... typing on a iphone sucks sometimes. my bad

 

for one - things a designed for a reason (the track bar is not there to look pretty), two - it keeps your axle in line, w/o it, you don't know which way you're jeep will go when you hit a bump, three - it will produce dw, no doubt about that. i could see driving it on your street if you live in a coldesack, and under 5mph, but that's it, how about we take a poll?

99%

1%

i'd say don't fall to the temptation, you could be the next winner of the darwin awards

 

I must of been lucky. The guy who helped me said it would just give me more flex and I didn't need it...

I was like... I think they put it there for a reason... lmao

I drove 45-50mph to and from my gfs and my house 4 times.

Luckily it's parked for now untill my gfs dad gets home to move his 68 camaro off the lift.

 

i think he got it confused with the sway bar.. that disconnected would give u more flex. not the track bar i dont think that would have any affect on ur flexing.

 

I smell a couple future customers for my tow truck!!

 

This*

 

So if I have three really good tires and one is missing it's ok to drive it as long as I lean a lot and only turn right, right? lol....j/k but really....... terrible advice on this one. Even sway bar disconnects should only be used at low speeds and only off road!

 

JonJon, don't drive without your trackbar.

Figure something else out to get parts over there or his tools over to your place.

The trackbar and swaybar are two different parts, the trackbar being the more important of the two. It holds your wheels centered so that your vehicle can make a straight, controlled line down the road.

Death Wobble aside, any driving you do without your trackbar can cause serious damage. The only thing left holding your axle under your vehicle are the control arm mounts, which are supposed to move up and down, not side to side.

If you choose to drive any more without your trackbar I hope you get a ticket for reckless driving or operating an unsafe vehicle or something. Please don't endanger yourself and others. If you're going to mod your XJ to improve its offroad abilities or its look, it is also your responsibility to be sure it is safe.
