i did that on my old jeep, but you prety much only have one shot to get it right. if the hole isnt in the correct spot, you will have to leave it or try and re weild and drill it.

^i was going to say that as well. also, Iron Rock has a couple options you can check out. they have their stock replacement that is stronger, a double shear upgraded kit, and a drop bracket option and a double shear upgrade bracket option if you buy a use track bar.

RE lifts usually sit taller than advertised. Keep that in mind.

To the OP: I would personally pick the right track bar to fit your lift and a track bar isn't a place I would want to cheap out on. Go with one with a heim joint instead of a TRE or better yet, double shear. IMO.

I've personally seen the Black Diamond one and it looks pretty solid. I wouldn't hesitate to run it. It's comparable to the RE1600, but can be used on a little as 2" of lift.
