Default RC Adj Track Bar For $50?

So this supposed Rough Country adj track bar popped up on eBay for only $51 shipped.

Think its a knock off?

Regardless I just bought one, I'll let you guys know whats up when I get it.

If its a real RC part WHAT A DEAL!

i suppose that you will just have to find out. ill bet its good, but the potential for the bushings to blow out, even on a new trac bar, is apparently, somewhat possible. so idk, new is new, and if its good quality then it will do the trick. there was an IAC valve i found online that orriginally sold for like, 140 new, and was marked down to under 20. so i gambled, and got the part, and im not sure that the IAC was ever to blame for the problem, so its tough to say if i got ripped off. hope its legit! did anybody else who bought one do a review? i guess it only matters so much at this point... good luck

and at that height you should be going to a double shear trackbar anyways or you'll blow through joints every few months.

How much lift are you running?

That is a double shear but doesnt look like there is a bracket for it. http://roughcountry.com/jeep_xtras_1079.html

Unless they give you one, or you have one already, you can't use it.

This is another one on ebay, looks like they use the factory mount.

ok so i might need to buy a bracket for it?

Guess I'll figure it out when I get it and see what it truly is :/

as far as rating, that is out of 36,000 people and I read through pages and the neg comments were resolved by the seller.

The one that I posted is pretty much the same, and it bolts to the factory mount. I am very curious 'cause I need a track bar to.
