I heard a lot of good reviews about IRO's double shear track bar. But from my research, it seem it wouldn't fit properly on xjs that are lifted 3 inches, because on the website it say its 4-8 lift height only

Someone recommended RockKrawler's bomb proof track bar, and it's ideal, 3-4.5 lift requirement.

I just want to do more research on other track bars, so I m wondering if u know of any other products that is double shear or something as strong as that FOR 3 inch to 5 inch lift heights.

Please don't recommend Rough Country, I won't even consider buying it.

Thanks!

IRO used to offer two different adjustable trackbars. One for 1-4.5" and another from 3.5-8" give or take an inch. This wasn't too long ago either, I'm not sure when or why they changed that.

There are a lot of great companies out there that offer top of the line track bars:
Rubicon Express
Ironman 4x4
Iron Rock Offroad
TNT Customs
Rock Krawler
FST

There's more too but that's all that's coming to mind at the moment

Rock Krawler, it is "bomb-proof" like they say.

Granted I think I had .75" coil spacers at the time, but I installed my OME 3" lift and IRO track bar a few years ago with no problems or performance issues afterwards.

Ironman 4x4 or T&T Customs are two of the best I've used. I now use the Ruff Stuff panhard bar kits.

Would I have to use a drop pitman for rock krawler's track bar? I read some reviews and people said they needed it.
