No. It's not. If the threads on that trackbar have play in them now because the manufacturer failed to put on the jam nut before shipping it, they owe you a replacement trackbar. Once the threads are elongated they don't work correctly anymore. Even if you put a jam nut on the bar, no amount of tightening will keep it from moving or loosening back up.
we called rough country and told them the issue.. they are sending me replacement hardware that should be here tomorrow. i am going to put the nut on once i get it and see if that stops the play.. if not they will be hearing from me again

Wyotech had the best facilities/class size/program that I could find out of LTI, UTI, the local Community college.. That being said, it is very different from those schools as well. You are at the school 8 hours a day 5 days a week. The core classes are 6 months and the add ons are 3 months. You take a core class of study such as Collision/Refinishing or Light Duty Diesel or Automotive
and you are able to add one elective course for the standard tuition. You can always add more for added cost.
Add ons are High Performance Engines and drivetrain, Chassis fab, Upholstery, Street rod/fabrication
There are dorms that you can stay in and the cost of the rent for a dorm can be added to your loan so you dont have anything out of pocket while you are in school. When it was all said and done, for my core and one elective, my food and room and board and I took out some extra for tools I ended up taking out just over 50K
