Good to see another zj on here. You can do what I did. I test fitted my buddies 34s. Have no pics of that but I just removed the front bumper for the mean time.

Well got the lift and tires done and have been driving around but it wasnt long before i noticed something going out. Looks like im going to have to buy a new tac-bar. Its nothing i didnt expect i had to do it on my last jeep. The stock trac-bar has a joint in it where it mount up to the frame, and that joint is strong enough to handle "JEEP POWER" hah.

Did have a question i wanted to get everyone advise on.
Should i just buy the ADJ trac bar with the HD bracket:

Or
The Trac-Bar that also come with a frame Stiffener.

I had been needing to buy a New HD adjustable Trac-Bar but ran into some problems. First problem was had to pay for next semesters classes and the also the Kentucky state police weren't helping my cause either. But finally got it gathered up and went and order the Rough Country HD adjustable Trac-Bar. Hopefully it gets here soon so i can install it.

Looks good. Seeing builds like this make me want to find a ZJ that much more. I learned to drive in one and my mom still has that thing. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this. I also see you're in southern Indiana. Whereabouts? I go camping right by Indiana Beach every summer and I'm Hoping to make a Badlands trip next summer.
