Summit racing , if I remember like 25 bucks. Bolts into oem hole. Put one in myself , bolted in, then wedled all around it. Glad I did, smahed into a rock, bent it up, everything still inline. Just made it a pain to replace trackbar at 3am in the woods. Fun times

So you welded it to the jeep? Did the stock mounting hole not feel strong enough or somethin?

I welded it to axle, for the extra strength. Eventually that bolt will get abused, you may not see or feel it. But that bracket will start moving around from steering and the abuse from trails, when this happens it will start roundin the whole out, then youll be buying beacket plus a axle housing.

If you cant weld, find some one that can. Do all the prep, cleaning of metal work. So only thing have to do is weld. Then hand them 20bucks. If cant find anyone, I can do it when it warms up located in 44223

I'm not sure the brand of the one I got. It's from fat bobs garage in Ogden, Utah. The garage I worked at when I lived in Idaho dealt with them frequently for our lift kits and stuff. They were a rough country dealer, so it may be a rough country bracket. It's powder coated and is pretty beefy. I'll post up some pics when I get back. Only thing I have wrong with it is that it they give you a 8.8 bolt for it. I'm heading to get a 10.9 class bolt to be on the safe side.

Here it is. Only hard part was drilling to hole on the top and lining the bar to the bracket. Big tip, start the engine and turn the wheel. Helps TREMENDOUSLY! Although now the steering wheel is about 90 degrees to the right.

I just got this one from IRO. Seems very beefy. Also came with new bracket because it's double shear. I'm a big JKS fan(have their control arms, shackles, quick disco's, and ACOS) but this with bracket seemed legit from IRO(I have their hack n tap). Have yet to install it yet though.Let me know when your doing your work to see if I'm available I'm no genius but could lend a hand.
