best Trac bar
So I haven't been on it a while due to a car accident but finally took the jeep out to run her and I bent a few steering components the Trac bar being one. On upgrading to one ton steering now bit what's the best Trac bar for 8.5 inches of lift had the rustys but it cause the rest to smash onto my oil pan

IRO double shear link Iv had mine for about a year now with no problems other than having to replace one of the bolts. works great with my "1" ton steering you should also consider clayton offroads track bar but its quite a bit more money

I was about to say NOT iro haha. I finally got to look at one the other night in person. my stupid rubicon express one was noticeably beefier. at the johnny joint end especially
this was before I double sheared it. $40 bracket from serious offroad was still in the mail

couple reasons. 1 being I hate IRO. I used to not care. but now I really don't like the company. without getting into too much of a rant, their product descriptions are just full of bull****. and then people buy the product and say it's super beef without physically comparing it with other products
not saying it's not beef. it's probably plenty strong and I doubt theres any failures with the product. so that's not a good reason not to buy from them. so here's the logic why I say not IRO
IRO track bar: $140
seriousoffroad Rubicon express: $117
IRO bracket: $80
seriousoffroad Rubicon express: $49

I cant give you what brand is best but I used to have a rustys one and was not happy with it dont buy theirs imo. The rod end in it is a weird metric size so to replace mine I wouldve had to buy the end from them. It was cheaper to build my own at that point...
whatever one you do go with, make sure it is double shear no matter what. and if possible get rid of the bushings and go with rod ends at both sides it will allow less play in it and the increase in noise wasnt noticeable for me when I used to dd my jeep.
