Witchcraft!

 

Haha i got lucky for sure!

 

Next thing to do is front brake pads, rotors and flush the fluid. Also have to put the front sway bar back on and replace the bushings as they were shot.

Will i need extended sway bar end links with a 2 inch lift? or should i be fine.

 

You will be fine with the stock links. Track bar should be next on your list after the brakes.

 

I'm still new to the whole lifted xj seen, so i'm still learning as i go. What exactly will getting a adjustable track bar do?

 

One of the main reasons to get one is to center the front axle. Seeing that you are only 2" up, it is not a must. But the higher up you lift, the more the axle is going to move over to one side. If you also get a drop mount for the track bar, it will help with the steering geometry. And to top it off, its a lot stronger and will help with potential death wobble.

 

Ahhh i see now. Well i guess ill add another to-do to the never ending list haha.
Thanks for the input.

 

Try switching to 4wd and see how long that list gets haha. Good luck with the rest of your build!

 

You're not gonna want a drop bracket for the track bar at 2".

JKS makes a nice track bar for your height. They make good quality stuff. It's not cheap thought, but you get what you pay for.

 

Yes iv'e looked at JKS before, they seem like great quality. A little expensive for my liking but i'm sure they are worth it. I was thinking of getting a rusty's or RC one. But it seems RC is poor quality.

 

If I recall correctly someone had a rustys track bar fail on the highway a long time ago, I'm sure they fixed whatever the problem was but who knows. I have an iron rock trackbar it does pretty good, made of solid steel stock not tubing, only regret is I didn't order the double shear, but I'll probably upgrade it to that soon.

 

RC is cheap for a reason. Don't use their stuff. They sell a lot of product because they are cheap, and uneducated people order from them because of that reason. Most come to realize in pretty quick order, that their stuff is crap.

I'd go JKS. They don't use a tie rod end to mount at the frame side like most. Much better construction.

 

Another vote for the JKS trackbar. I've been running mine for a while and it is very nice. If you want to go stronger w/ a double sheer the double sheer trackbar from Iron rock is supposed to be the best.

 

These diligent gentlemen from Canada shared a thought regarding Rough Country products and service...

 

I've been searching around for the JKS tracbar and cheapest i've found it for is $228 + free shipping so looks like ill be saving up for a little bit.
