I have no first hand experience with Rusty's products. I have the Iron Rock Off Road track bar and it is a nice piece. In the description for the Rusty's unit it stated it was 1.25" tubing where as the IRO is 1.25" solid steel. I went with the double shear setup and can not be happier. I would purchase it again if need be.

Another good looking setup is available from a CF vendor. Iron Man 4x4 Fab, aka Andy has a 1.25" solid steel unit available at a good price. No first hand on his but I do have a set of upper control arms from Andy which have not let me down so far.

Try searching NAXJA and Jeepforum too. The general consensus is that the rusty's track bar is a POS and bends really easily. Plus the tierod end limits movement, thus limited suspension travel.

I also have IRO's double shear setup, and it's great. Not sure how much it is though, because it was included in the lift i purchased.

Hey rustys are the best. I have one. And love it. It's great. They test and build these products for Offroad use. So you know they are good.
