Default Jeep ZJ track bar bracket ?

Hello everyone,

I just picked up a 95 zj 4.0 and plan on making it a light trail vehicle.

I going to buy a 3" lift from fatbobsgrage.com and i've heard that when lifitng a zj more then 2" that longer track bars are needed or brackets especially in the rear.

I just wanted to see if anyone has any reviews on these track bar brackets they say for 3" lift so they will work nicely and the quality doesnt look bad just seeing what anyone thinks.

Here's the brackets.

At 3 inches of lift you may or may not need a track bar. Drive line angles could be a greater concern. It all depends on your Jeep. Here is a good write up that may answer some of your questions and make you aware of a couple you may not have thought of http://panhandle4x4.phpbbnow.com/vie...17e9ef2ab36a0c . I have been running a 2" BB with 31's (minor plastic bumper cutting that is not noticeable) for 5 years and had no problems with anything. I am working on moving to a 3.5-4" lift right now, we'll see when I get it all installed where I am really at.

In the rear I have a drop bracket from RC and the front I just got a new bar from Rubicon Express. Never used a bracket up front. RC just had my drill a new hole but I ended up getting a new bar.
