So I received an invoice from autopartswarehouse.com for the track bar. I guess the ebay seller is a supplier or got some super deal through them?

It said "Part number: Rough Country ROU7571"

Here it is on their site for $108


Ironic cause that site is where I just bought alot of stuff in my Jeep build. Like Brembo rotors for $25.

So seems legit and an awesome deal. Anyone that needs one of these this is the time!

I also have been with ebay and paypal for almost 10 years and never had a problem other than sometimes some cheap products that were at cheap prices.

let me know how it is once you get it on.

I wont be able to use mine til I get my lift which might be a month or two now

In the long run it will be worth it though since I am doing all the maintenance type stuff now.

That is not a double shear.

Good - works w/stock bracket.

Bad - heard they don't last very long.

what are the bushings at the bracket end going to wear out fast?

I thought a drop bracket was used if you didn't get an adjustable trac bar

Woah, that's messed up. That's different than the one posted on the ebay ad. I don't want the BJ end at ALL.

I havn't got mine yet, and if it comes with the BJ end, I am sending it back.

people with lifts 3.5" or less should really consider just relocating the axle side mount hole

In the description under the photo they used it said "STOCK PHOTO: Actual item may differ slightly from item shown in picture. Please see title and description for actual color, size and application information. "

in the description they did not say it needed any modifying or special brackets. your going to get what I posted.

I think it will work good for me for enough time to get its moneys worth at $51 then eventually upgrade when it wears out.

I thought it was supposed to be adjustable? Maybe it's the picture, but it doesn't look adjustable from what I can see.
