I ordered serious off-road OTK steering and the axle side OTA TRACK bar bracket. I need to buy a new track bar and (frameside)bracket and I know that most track bars are too long for OTA. Serious pointed me to the JKS DIY trackbar. But I can't figure out what frameside bracket would work with it. Can anyone help me here, either a trackbar/bracket combo. Or just a bracket that would work with the JKS trackbar.
The JKS bar is available in 2 different frameside joint sizes. 2" and 2.5"
But I can't find a frameside bracket that lists what joint size it takes.

I think Ruffstuff sells a bolt on one. Or fab your own (I assume you can weld if you're planning to install an OTA axle bracket.)

I used this bracket http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...CKET-HD-RE1665

with a ruffstuff 3/4 heim panhard. can't remember which misalignment spacers.. but it fit like a glove. I like a lot of rubicon express parts and the bracket is great. only problem I had was welding it to the frame. never weld anything directly to your uniframe, unless it's frame plates. learned that the hard way

I will be learning to weld, but can't currently. The welding will be done by a buddy.
