what are your thoughts on the adjustable double shear trackbar conversion kit from Iron Rock? is it worth the money?

I just put that track bar on my 2000 cherokee. It's a massive track bar. you'll have to drill out the mount hole to a larger size on the upper mount but they supply the drill bit. Only had two issues, I found out I needed a larger wrench (1 1/8th ) and I had some problems getting the axel to center....just eat your wheaties. Great bar though solid all around.

youll have to center the axle with any trac bar that you get, thats the only way to get it to line up and let the trac bar do its job of keeping the axle in line with the body, just use a ratcheting tie down to move the axle and center it. the double shear set up is great and doesnt allow for any play like the stock design does.
