Will an oem track bar fit on a 5.5 lifted cherokee. Just wanted to make sure before I started on it in the morning.

It'll work, but not nicely. It'd be ok to use for a while until you get a new adjustable one.

What would be the effect of it not working well? Right now I have the same track bar on that was on when it had a 8.5 inch lift. Its pushing the axle to one side further then the other.

thanx for the link, just learned something new, but I think Im going to hold off and order an adjustable bar.Although I live in the city I will be doing alot of off-roading so Im pretty sure ill get more flex w/an adjustable bar. Thanks for the help
