I NOMINATE THIS CHART TO BE MADE A STICKY!!.. could maybe lessen the amount of times "which adj track bar?" is asked... i swear i see a new thread atleast once a day... no offense no rdplz, i know u were looking for feedback on 2 certain products, but people will push whichever they feel is more "beef".... i've had RE's bar with frame side heim for like 8 years, & its held up just fine, but some will argue otherwise
good job, j-rod

I went with an Ironman4X4Fab "IronmanAndy" one. Its the heaviest duty and beefiest one I have ever used or seen. He can custom make to your specifications. I had him custom make mine with 1.5" SOLID and with his custom Bushing at the axel mount and a larger Jonny Joint at the frame mount. Its fully adjustable. I had him make the adjustment almost fully closed at my 6.5" Ride hight that way I can go higher when I add more lift down the road. I previously was running a RE Tracbar and it was junk but I am still using RE Frame Mount. Give him a call he's a great guy to work with. And you will NEVER Look back and regret it. Plus he's a CF Vendor. So support you Vendor.
Here's a link to the one he pre makes for cherokees...... but you can have him custom make it to what you want!!!

That is his Pre-Made Trac-Bar for the cherokee "BASE MODEL" if you prefer. HE ALSO CUSTOM MAKES TO YOUR SPECIFICATIONS!!!
READ WHAT I POSTED! I had it CUSTOM MADE!!! All you have to do is call him and he will CUSTOM MAKE IT how ever you want it.

YES!!! I've had a RC Trac-bar and it was junk. First hard wheeling trip and bent like a twig.
Then I went to a RE a little better but when I went to a taller lift it didn't work anymore. I still have it though I could sell it cheap.
But now im running ironman andys and will never need another one ever again!!!

I have a pro comp on the wifes wrongler and it is extended as far as it should be and it is fine i have not had it bend or give any issues and she wheels it pretty hard. Its the same part number for the xj. It is a little more money but you get what you pay for and also what type and where its wheeled makes a big difference.

Just saying an ironman one is WAY BETTER than either of those two choices. I've heard ProComp's is pretty comparable to RC. That's why I said what I said. Take it how ever you want to. All I know if he gets a ironman Custom Made to how he wants it he will never have to buy another one. ITS THAT GOOD. Plane and simple.
