Just wanted to post info about the double shear trackbar with bracket from IRO. Good reviews everywhere I have read and now they have another satisfied costumer. I installed it yesterday. It helped greatly with bumpsteer I was experiencing. Actually I never realized how much of the negative handling characteristics were trackbar related. My Jeep is lifted 4.5 inches exactly so I got the one for the 3.5-7in. Fits perfectly, No clereance issues, clears the pumpkin and everything else 100%. Also I have the stock pitman arm and have no death wobble at all if anyone is interested if it works with the stocker. 100% satisfied.

 

agreed I installed mine a couple weeks ago, replacing the Rough Country unit that was on it. Rough country is a joke when compared side by side with this thing it is massive. Haven't got to try it off road yet but really like it so far.

 

sweet i plan to get one when i get my lift! well either the iro or rockkrawler

 

I have the IRO double shear trackbar too, beefy, but for some reason, i cannot get the bolts to stay tight. After like a week they loosen. I have to check and see if it wallowed out the holes.

I may attempt double nutting to stop them from vibrating loose.

 

I dont like how it uses stock sized bolts.

a chain is only as strong as its weakest link...

 

The bolts I took out of the stock one were smaller. I tried to use the stock nut because it had a bracket thing on it to make it stop spinning but the nut was way smaller for the new bolt.

 

It cant be significantly larger if it still fit in the stock mount

 

Thats right. Just a bit larger.

 

What one do you like? Clayton? They have one with a larger bolt

 

Conical-top lock nut; do it. I have the double shear on my 4.5" lifted '97. It's a nice piece, and the "frame" side bracket holds nicely. I drilled out the bushing sleeve on my axle side and up'ed the bolt size for a tighter fit.

 

ive always been a fan of the rock krawler unit.

clayton makes good stuff too.

Rubicon express is a nice unit with the 1/2" bolt upgrade , and they even sell a bracket to work with their drop bracket to tie it into the other side frame rail.
