Default iron rock/ rough country track bar

I have a rc adjustable track bar, the kind with a tre and I was wondering if it would be compatable with the iro double sheer upgrade zack from iro said it would work if my rod end was a 3096l but he also said hed heard it might not work, does anyone know for sure? Thanks in advance

So Rough Country wouldn't tell you what the thread was? Nice customer service.

Well you're in luck. I used my expert research skills and found out via Moog's official website that I found through a Google that the ES3096L tie rod end uses a M22-1.5L thread, which is the same as the IRO track bar.

the shackle relocation brackets i bought from them are supposed to be for 84-01 but my renix doesnt have some of the same bolt up holes so i had to drill new holes. i emailed them to let them know of the problem and they never even emailed back

Yea i have a moog tre because the rc one caved the first time I wheeled with it, and the flex joint on one of my lcas caved the first time I wheeled with them too. There service is ok if you call them, they sent me new flex ends under a recall. Cant help but wonder why there recalling parts for vehicles that went out of production 12 years ago

Well I'm glad to hear that because the hiem? Joint on my adjustable track bar just went bad I think.
I'm done buying parts from them that I will just have to replace 3 months from now

I had the same issue you were having and I spoke with the guys at RC to see if I could upgrade to the double sheer setup. The rep said that it would work but their track bar for the TRE setup was different than the double sheer one so I ended up getting their whole kit plus the drop pitman arm for 134 shipped. Check with them to see if you can work out a similar deal.

from the bad reputation RC has both on and off the net and everything between that I've heard from them I didn't even consider them when I researched and bought my lift... (which I finally paid for today)...

and I have no personal experience with them and positive I never will ...

Yea I kinda wish I had done more research when I was lifting my jeep my traxk bar is the tie rod end type, one of the things I bought when I was desperately trying to fix my death wobble im just going to start throwing better stuff at it here and there ill probably order the iro kit and if it doesn't work ill get their bar too, I think I ordered the tre one because rcs double hiem one wasnt recommend for the 3 inch lift I have
