Look into ironmans,i have seen some others and they do not compare,they are very well built and very beefy. for the price they are worth every penny.

I got death wobbles after installing my Rubicon Express 6" lift. i replaced the horizontal steering stabilizer, fixed all of my wobble problems. never had the money for a adjustable track bar.

FYI if you get the RC Tackbar as mentioned above you can also get the pitman arm for $53.

To make it more clear I'll post the link again: http://roughcountry.com/jeep_xtras_1079.html

And check the drop pit arm at the bottom.

That's all you need.
