Default 5.5 inch lift track bar lenght?

Can anyone tell me how long the track bar needs to be for a 5.5 inch lift? or how I can measure for how long it should be? Thanks. 94 xj auto bla bla bla. This is a friends rig and I hope to turn him on to this forum since he is a huge cherokee guy. I know that doing an otk would be the best but that's not an option at the time.

Its not really a certain length, you need to measure from one side of the axle to the oppisite subframe rail then vise versa and move the axle until the measurements are the same, making the axle centered.

you will/should be using an adjustable heavy duty track bar with a super flex/johnny joint end with mating frame bracket.

Buy a T/B that is rated for the lift height your working with.
