I cant seem to find the answer to this. From what truck does the TRE come from that is a replacement for the RC adjustable trac bar? Or does anyone know of a better way to get this fixed before this weekend to get rid of the TRE?

If i wanted to add a BB (spacer shackle combo) on top of my 3 inch lift (2wd here) i would be sitting numerically around ~4.75 inches of lift. I have fixed LCA's for up to a 4.5 inch lift so i would need longer brake lines, t case drop, adj track bar, any other goodies? Should i make good friends with my grinder and trim to run 33's?

Longer shocks, probably won't need the t case drop but you might. For 33's I would look into a HD tie rod and maybe a steering box brace. I'm at 4.75 or so and my fenders are trimmed. I could easily fit 35's with proper bumpstops. 33's will be a nice fit and still leave room for some uptravel

Also, if you have 5 spare minutes there's a pretty good chance that if you call RC they'll send you a new one for free. It's going to be the same crappy one you had but they'll send it out.

You can do 30s stock with no trimming. Rustys is Better than RC in most peoples opinions.

Comparable. They're both lower on the scale as far as lift companies go, but they work just fine. 30s will fit just fine on 3".

I'm going to call tomorrow. If they do I'll keep it as a spare in the Jeep.
