Theres also ones that use the standard joint as stock, but im not sure if i want that kind.
Just need some opinions
edit: Also do they NEED a drop pitman arm or is it just more stuff they want to sell me

First, how much lift are you doing? If you don't need to get it, there's no reason for it. If you want to do a pitman arm drop, go cheaper and get one off a v-8 ZJ. They're 1" longer than the XJ pitman arm.

I have 4" lift springs on it right now, forgot to factor in the trac-bar and now im looking to buy one. I dont drive it yet so im not in a rush to find one, but i want a good one im not gonna have to replace in 3 months because of poor construction

Sorry to bump this old thread but i need some opinions.
I can get the RC Adj. trackbar for around $128 shipped, But its not solid tube
I can get a Rock Krawler one for around $175 shipped, but according to them it IS solid
is there that much of a difference between strength in RC's DOM tube trackbar and RK's solid tube one? Is it worth the extra ~$50?
Just kinda stuck on this right now.
edit: They both come with drop brackets.

the strength of the RC is all you're gonna ever need, but rockcrawler comes with a lifetime warranty. i don't know about RC. i always nickel and dime the extra weight, so i think the solid is gonna be heavier
