Default 4" lift. What's your trackbar length set at?

A fellow jeeper wants to buy my double sheer trackbar. It's made for 4.5" or higher. The shortest is 31.25". I'm trying to see if it will fit on his 4" lift with a double sheer bracket.

Any of ya know the length of yours at 4" or even 4.5"?

Well we got a ton of snow on the ground and more pouring down right now, but when I leave work about noon I will try to get a measurement on mine. I'm right at 4" of lift. I'll just measure on the diagonal from heim hole at the frame side to axle mount hole for ya.

this is how you do it...

step 1: disconnect your track bar at the axle

step 2: bump the body back and forth several times

step 3: then hop up and down on the bumper many times

step 4: same as step 2

step 5: adjust your track bar until it lines up with the hole on the axle

Thanks but we know the procedure. The dude wants to know if this trackbar will fit his 4" lift. The t-bar came from a 4.5" long arm kit. So he doesn't want to buy the bar if it's too long.

According to ironrock offroad at 4" of lift the trackbar should measuer 33.5" on an XJ center to center. Keep in mind that's a starting point and it can vary from setup to setup. Although I couldn't imagine it needing to be any shorter. Those are based on double shear style.
