Default Name that manufacturer

Ok, so I purchased a trackbar off of ebay and was wondering what manufacturer is. The seller didn't know, but I figured you guys would have a good idea. The seller stated that it is adjustable for 2-6 inch lift. The reason I need to know is that I want to replace the bushing and also get hardware for mounting it is the track bar bracket. Please help!!

They all look alike, but my guess is a RE one. You are going to need some mislignment spacers, and an approriate size bolt. Ussually around 1/2" grade 8. You will also need to drill out your current trac bar bracket as well

Ok, so i just got it in the mail today and after close checking it does not appear to have a manufacturer stamped on it. The think that confuses me is the silver paint on it. Any other ideas?

I am with 93xjli on this..I think it is the RE1600...I'll go look at mine and see if there is a manufacturer stamp on it but that looks just like mine.

Ok just looked at mine and that one looks identical to mine and mine does not have any manufacturer stamps..So I would say you have an RE1600 trackbar. You can order the mounting hardware from RE which would be .. http://rubiconexpress.com/Jeep/XJ/Pr...px?part=RE1684

Ok, so I am going to continue with installing it under the assumption that it is a re1600.

Looking at re's website - it shows a hardware kit that includes 5/8 bolt, top lock nut and 2 mis-alignment spacers for $25 or just the misalignment spacers for only $4... why such a huge dif in price?
Also, how can I check the life left on the bushing on the axle end of this thing?
