Thats just a beautiful front end setup! flexes nice too. I like how Froelich uses the hex walled tubing. Looks different and tough all at once

i love my TNT trackbar, i actually think i am going to reinstall the TNT bracket, and just enlarge the hole to 5/8 and run the straight Hex trackbar with heims... TNT makes the best trackbar bracket, hands down. i am running a Froehlich atm and i hit my spring

It was great getting to meet Brian in person yesterday. Jeep looks great too. We did some brain storming on the spring and track bar bracket contact issue. I have the clearance so close on this setup to try and gain an exta half inch of track bar length that the heim itself will slightly rub the coil. A 1/2" isnt exactly a mile when talking track bar length and trying to get it closer to the length of the drag link. It can be argued that matching track bar and drag link angles is the most important goal. We decided the extra 1/2" isnt worth the spring contact so I will be designing another track bar mount and Brian gets to be the guinea pig. I think he should do all of my quality control. lol
