Adj Track bar: ProComp or RC?
#46
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.
Im not trying to be a di** or anything Im just saying.

I understand that but no rdplz was asking about the RC one and the ProComp one, not the Ironman one, or the Re one, or the any other trackbar that has been listed. I have had dealings with ironman andy and he is a great guy and makes great products but no rdplz has mentioned multiple times that he is only comparing two specific products RC and ProComp.

I understand what your saying. I hear ya. And im not trying to be D*** either. But I was just giving my feelings toward the subject. I don't know if nordplz has every heard of or considered ironmans products. Just giving him some info on the subject. Just saying he might want to check him out before he makes his purchase. After all it can't hurt just to look of give andy a call. And if he decides that's not for him than that's fine. No sweat off my back he wont hurt my feelings none. Just giving him another option.
I have heard of and seen ironman's stuff in use and I will agree, it's amazing. But, like I said, I'm getting an incredible deal on the either the RC or ProComp (which ever I choose) and both are brand new, so the price can't be beat. My big thing was which of the two to get. If I had the money for Ironman Andy's, I'd definitely be going that route.

Just got home from work. Since you wanted pictures.
1.5" 12TPI. 9/16 Bolt Jonny joint at frame mont end.
Here's my old RE Trac-Bar
Here's the difference in the diameter of the bar
Ironman 5.5" around and SOLID Coled Rolled Steel.
RE 4" around and DOM Tubing.

this would have been better off had you mentioned that you had an aftermarket double shear end instead of just saying you have a joint on the frame end. Some of these manufacturers put heims, JJs, whatever joint they want in single shear configuration on the stock bracket and thats just a big waste.

I can get the RC for $85 or the ProComp for $150 only cuz it's through a buddy. I've got to get a front end alignment and wheels balanced too so that's what making me have to go lower on price for the track bar. If the alignment and wheels were good I'd be getting ironman's.

You wanna try driving my jeep right now? DW and bump steer are killing me right now.My Jeep is my DD and bumper to bumper traffic with people being idiots and cutting me off constantly because I'm actually giving some braking room between myself and the person in front of me while trying to keep my Jeep going straight while the 12 o'clock wheel position sits at 2 o'clock and the wheel shakes so bad I don't need to go the gym right now - it's not a fun mix. I'm getting it fixed this weekend, so ordering a part and waiting for it isn't something I really want to do.
LOL, I'm good thanks! I've had some bad experience with some of their parts and am a little leery on their stuff. That, and you just went from 4" to 6" right? I'll be doing the same at some point and would rather not have to buy another track bar down the road.

Lol, ya I figured you wouldn't, but hey it was worth a shot. I need to free up some extra space and get rid of some old parts and make a little extra cash.
Ya I went from a 3" lift to a 6.5" Lift. I think the RE Adjustable I have is good for like 3"-5.5" Lift. So it just barley came up short for my 6.5" Lift. Which im actually glad it did because I am so much happier with my ironman Trac-Bar.
But if you know anyone looking for one. I got one for sale. I'll sell it cheap. 75-100 bucks depends on how far I gotta drive to meet someone.
