Default trac bar and LCA ?'s

Im looking to put in an adjustable track bar and some new LCAs. Im looking for budget items. Ive seen some things about heim joints and johnny joints and have no clue which is better for a dd.Im putting in a new lift consisting of pro comp 3.5/4" leafs and a coil spacer on my rc coils. my lca bushings are shot and like the look of after market ones.
My axle is offset and im looking to put in an adjustable trac bar and everyone seems to make one what are some good ones for moderate wheeling mostly road driving though. Thanks

did you check out ironman 4x4?
http://www.ironman4x4fab.com/XJ_Inventory.html

if you wanna save some money, tell Andy your height your at and he can probably make you some fixed lower and even uppers if you want for a lot cheaper than most of the competition.

i have quite a few of his parts (check sig) and cant complain on any of it

Thanks im going with the ironman lcas. Now i need to decide on a trac bar. Are there any other ways of moving the axle over and how much of a job is it? Ive heard that it can be a pain and that its easy to screw up. Thanks

you can move it using the stock trackbar by relocating the bottom bolt. I know theres a writeup on here somewhere. Might have been in the how to section. Look around for that, and decide if you wanna do that or not.

track bar relocation bracket can be used an adjustable track bar is better because you can fine tune . But this bracket can be used until funds can be saved for a good bar dont go cheap here its not worth it

make sure you have another ride to go to the store tho. The bolt snapped on my jeep and my friends jeep without much force, even after soaking it in pb blaster.
