I just got my RC full leaf 4.5 lift. It didn't come with an adjustable trac bar. I'm gonna have to drill a new hole on the mounting bracket on the passenger side as I'm sure all of you know.

I'm supposed to drill 3/4's of an inch across on the mounting bracket. How can I make sure that this is gonna be exact? Cause I don't wanna mess this up. Is there anything speacial I should keep in mind. Any secret tips? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance fellas.

It's on my 99 cherokee by the way.

 

well just measure the best you can theres no exact really good way to do it. If your a little off it wont matter much guys run 3 inch lifts w/o moving the trackbar so just do the best you can..good luck HTH

 

Have you checked out XJ Strykers writeup on this, it is pretty informative...

i ran the stock TB on my xj with 3.5-4" of lift for a while. but with 4.5" you may want an adj. one at some point.

 

i still have my og trac bar and it works ok but my rc 4.5" lift came with a drop bracket. Did yours come with something similar?

 

Like the instrutions say just measure over 3/4 of an inch and drill a 7/16th hole with a drill bit. Worked perfect or me

 

I measured over 3/4 inch and marked it, then center up a punch and give it a couple whacks. This will help keep the bit from wandering when starting to drill. Then drill out the mounting bracket 2 times using progressively bigger bits which should help keep you as centered as possible. Just do the best you can to drill straight into the bracket. I am still running my stock trac bar on Rough Country 4.5" lift

 

alright fellas. i'll just go ahead and do it. thanks for all the input and help. I'll show some before and after pics of the Jeep when it's all done. I know those are always fun to look at. ha.

 

Just Call Rough country, tell them your on the forums. they'l hook you up. the price on the site is $99.95 they gave me mine for $89.95 thats not bad for an adjustable!

 

My adj trk bar came with my RC 4.5 rock series kit?? Did your kit come with adj UCA/LCA?

 

yea, mine didn't come with an adj trac bar. I only got the LCA's. Didn't get any UCA's either.
