Default Help please track bar needed asap

Hey just got done my alignment done on my xj with a 6" lift give or take, and they told me that the track bar needs to be replaced ASAP. What's a good track bar for a lift like mine? I am not a hard core wheeler either but do go. Please need to order this like yesturday.

Alright I live near quadratec and can get the jks one today for about 200 or I can get the IRO double sheer one for also 200 but will wait about 1-2 weeks for it to arrive. Seems like the double sheer is the better way but what are your thoughts?

With the amount of lift you have double shear is the way to go jus does make great control arms bar pin eliminators and discos but I am not too sure about their trackbar. If it was my jeep. I'd go with iro

Yeah I have the JKS quick discos and rough country adjustable control arms and so far so good. I think I will order the IRO.

ive said it many times before in about 37 threads.

anything with a larger bolt upgrade. a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. a 1/2" chain isn't very strong if the last 2 links are zip ties now is it?

rockkrawler, rubicon express with the 1/2" bolt upgrade, and clayton are the only choices i would consider.(that i know of)

spend your money once. don't play around with anything single shear.

There is a reason the rock krawlers are called "bomb proof"...
