Default Which adjustable track bar to buy?

So i installed an HD frame mount and a new track bar (not adjustable).

I swapped tie rods to a ZJ ones.

Of course it was the mechanic fault not to install an adjustable track bar and made me buy a normal one, now i have to buy an adjustable.

Which one should i get ? WJ or XJ

My Iron Rock Offroad one has done me well for almost three years. Just changed the bushings on it for the first time a couple weeks ago. Very well made piece.

I bought a JKS bar, I would imagine the XJ set up would be the one to buy.

I would recommend a track bar brace for that bracket too. I run the Rubicon Express setup (bracket, adjustable bar, and brace). Works great and super solid.

Buy one for your XJ an aftermarket but do buy a HD Adj. "DBL. SHEAR" one and never have to buy another

I'm going to second the motion for the Iron Rock double shear trackbar.

I had a shop tell me all my stuff up front was bad, so they replaced all the tie rods, drag link and trackbar with OEM Jeep stuff. It did not resolve my "wander" issue and such. So i made them take it all off and I replaced everything with Iron Rock (IRO) Trackbars and 1-ton OTK steering. My XJ tracks like a razor now.

If your mechanic put the wrong part on that did not solve your problem, it's on his dime as far as I'm concerned.

You have an XJ, don't you?

Why are you considering the WJ one?

2 mechanics said I should get a WJ one coz of that HD frame mount. One mechanic said buy the one for XJ.
That's why I'm confused. I'm buying from the US and shipping to Beirut Lebanon that's why I must be sure what to get.
Look at the TB in the pic above I think it'd a WJ one no?

That's an aftermarket double shear mount. Just get one for an xj that is double shear. That's what everybody is suggesting.

Nope, you should be good. That track bar and mount will treat you well.

I need to change the mount I have with the IRO one? Is it better than the one I have? It's a RC copy done here by the way.

It should be okay. There's a chance the width of them could be different but it would make sense that they would be the same.
