I have the death wobble whenhitting bumps, what type of trackbar do you think is the best quality for a resonable price. 4.5" on 33's

what causes dw in a trackbar most of the time is bushings. replace your bushings and dw can be gone. but to answer your question RE makes a great trackbar. part # 1660

Or for a little cheaper option with a nice build quality, Iron Rock Offroad makes one with bushings on both ends but includes a frame bracket. Not as fancy as the RE1660 but gets the job done.

the death wobble on my 89 was caused by my track bar, i have a 5 inch lift, so i got a taraflex adjustable track bar, and it works amazing. DW gone, and my axle is now center haha.

Try to get a double shear trac-bar that comes with a frame mount. You shouldn't have any problems with that.

X2 on the Rubicon Express track bar. This is what i'm using. It is grease-able and very beefy. I also recommend getting the drop bracket and uni body brace while your at it. With 4.5" of lift you should already have an adjustable track bar.
