Default Adj. Track Bar retrofit
I bought a rock krawler track bar for a 4.5-6" lift and it doesn't fit my jeep. So I'm either thinking about cutting the track bar where is treads in to the right length. Is this a good idea? Or should I buy new springs or just a smaller track bar?

How big is your jeep lifted? Call rock krawler and ask them if you can send it back for a smaller one that fits

I bought the jeep already lifted and the kid said it had a 4.5 inch lift but apparently that is not correct. I'm definitely paying the price for not doing it myself. is there a way to figure out how much lift I have?

The bar is too long. if it was an inch or two shorter it would fit perfect. and I have no pictures of the front axle. 33 inch tires
