Default Opinions on El Cheap'o adjustable Track Bar

Found this at CarParts.com for $62.54 Free Ship with Code:

http://www.carparts.com/autoparts/It...32380310793950

(If the link doesn't work it's at http://www.carparts.com Vendor: Rough Country Suspension Product: Adjustable Track Bars and click on the Cherokee option)

For someone doing mostly family friendly trails still running a stock TB with 4" of lift, would this TB fit the bill?

I'm hoping someone has purchased this already and can tell me "It's pure beef!" or "They made it out of Tin Foil!"

Thanks!

I would pay a little more for something better, but that is me. I know there were at least a few for sale over at naxja.

Frame side is a regular bushing, not a johnny joint.

Check out Ironman4x4....his trackbar is only $159 (not counting any discounts, which I think forum members get), and it is pure beef! Solid 1.25" rod, and makes double shear mount. Awesome.

I have the Iron man track bar. Can't get any thing better (my opinion).
