Need some info advice ect. Put a new axle and gears along with all new suspension and 3.5 lift on my comanche and cherokee both. Same lift suspension ect. I’m having an issue with the track bar. Got the rubicon express re1600 adjustable track bar. It wouldn’t adjust far enough so got the drop bracket that mounts to the frame, also rubicon express. Drilled out the mounting holes so the track bar bolt would fit and still not enough adjustment. Don’t have an engine in the comanche yet so thought maybe that’s it. With the wieght of the motor would depress the front end thus allowing a closer fit so to speak. Well just finished doin the axle in the Cherokee and it does have a motor and same situation. Do I need the drop bracket that mounts to the axle? Has anyone else had this issue? Tye comanche was 2wd but I made it 4wd, but the cherokee is all factory minus the controls springs ect. Hope this makes sense. Any help would rock!

As stated ^^ pictures would be very helpful. If it's an RE 3.5 lift and your using that Re track bar there shouldn't be issues...

Whatever you do your probly not benefiting much from changing drop bracket you must have a parallel drag link and track bar.
you might benifit if its accidentally parallel after you messed with it.
Stinky fab and a few otheres build good steering stuff.
But yes at 3.5ish youd benifit from a stinky fab wj steering and matching track bar. It will cost some money but is worth it because it gets you exceptional steering.
you will need to invest in a means to mount track bar bracket on the axle.
Good luck and have fun with it.
