I bought a Jeep with one of those installed and removed it asap. I don't know anyone that would use one of those. It lowers the track bar mounting point and screws up the angles just like using a drop pitman arm on a lifted Jeep does. A 2" lift moves the axle around 1/2" so the axle shift is really a non-issue unless someone has OCD. Most people just buy an adjustable track bar or drill another hole with larger lifts. I've done both with no ill effects either way.

 

That's not for a stock Jeep anyway.

 

Mine's lifted 2".

 

Stock track bar with no other brackets works best. Pills work best if you have OCD and a 1/2-3/4" axle shift will ruin your day. After lifting 18 of my own Jeeps, I'm picky but not obsessive about minor stuff. Good luck. I'm off to replace my motor mounts in 90 degree temps today.

 

Suppose to hit 90 here today. Taking a break today after working on an old barn yesterday. Just took a measurement and it's out 1/2" to the left. Anyways good luck with your mounts and just think cool thoughts while at it. lol

 

Someone doesn't know how to tighten bolts? Haven't had any issues on any Jeep I've put those on. There shouldn't be a problem if it's tightened up. As for offroading, if you're worried about it hanging up, then you really should be using an adjustable bar anyways. I have true 2" spacers up front and the axle shifted more than your claimed 1/2". It works just fine for me.
Keep in mind one fact, every Jeep is different, what worked or didn't on yours, may or may not work on another. These are all just some suggestions from all of us.

 

I'm going to admit to my OCD hang up and order one. lol

 

 

Been 90 plus pretty much all week here and I've been laying under my Jeep the whole time cussing at all the stuck rusted bolts..even using Kroil oil and a torch did not help! This may be the last front end I do..lol

 

Some of us could only dream about 90° weather! I had to wait until 9pm to do an oil change last night.

 

Yea I pity you guys. I worked blacktop for 9yrs. Walk away from 400 degree hot rocks and even 100 degrees feels cool.



At least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. lol

 

I could never do any sort of construction out here unless it was a winter only job. I really dont see how they do it in the summer. Soon it will be over 110°....

I like your story and we will stick to it.

 

Update:
So I got the track bar and drop bracket installed. No offset to the axle now. Only one issue. There are no torque specs with the bracket. When I tried to reach the 74 ft/lb spec for the bushing end of the track bar (which I had no problem reaching with the OEM set up) I snapped the M10 12.9 class bolt that came with the bracket. Actually pulled the threads out of the nylon lock nut that came with it. The bracket came with a "product review request card". So I'll recommend that they supply torque specs. Not complaining at all here. It's a Rugged Ridge bracket.

 

That's what I had. I just used Standard Navy Torque.

 

I did crank the torque wrench down to 50 ft/lb when the light bulb when off in my brain but too late. Don't know what SNT is but Farmer Tight is working so far. I'll keep an eye on it though. And THANKS for the tip on the bracket. Never knew there was such a thing.
