I would agree, the frame side is ok... the axle side is lame. If you don't have one now, you wont need one with long arms.

It is moved over a bit I think it needs a track bar I was hope this bracket will do that. And five mile is a blast after I get the locker in the front and my brake lines on I'll be makekng another try at WW

Honestly I think those brackets are a POS, they work don't get me wrong. but they really only belong on somthing that drives on paved roads.

Do your self a favor and get an adjustable trackbar. Its a one time buy, can adjust it with any changes you make later up or down. but it does cost more $$, I can price one localy (SLC) for you if you want....
