Default RE HD Trac Bar Bracket

http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.co...7bcc88d7ede232

Does anyone run this bracket? If so will I need a drop pitman arm? I'm at 4.5 inches with all stock steering.

i would run a drop pitman arm anytime you drop the mounting point of the trac bar.

You will need a drop pitman arm and the question has been asked about 3 times this month, please use the search function before creating a thread there is a wealth of information already on the site

well I've already had guys tell me that I wouldn't need it. I'm just trying to clarify and see if someone has this specific track bar mounting point. It's a forum, I'm allowed to ask questions.

you are correct. you can ask all the questions you want. there is even a post somewhere that discourages anyone from being a search ****. I've been trying to find it to put it in my sig. however, mods and other members do ask that you search before posting a new thread. you'll find the answer to your question 60% of the time every time

anyway. here's another thread about it

kinda like black panther? and yeah, I just found another thread. I'm still torn on whether to get a drop pitman arm or not. i've heard they can cause DW and thats what I'm trying to get rid of. I guess I'll have to dish out the money for the RC trac bar w/ heim assembly and drop bracket and get their drop pitman arm along with it just incase.

Get a grand Cherokee ZJ pitman arm same 1" drop or so that goes along with most drop brackets and way cheaper
Only if your track bar and drag link are not parallel will you get bump steer and possible dw, check your tb bushing too
Edit: I downright do not like the rc track bar had too many problems on my buddies jeep

I run the RE HD Trac Bar Frame Mount with a IronMan Adjustable Double Shear Trac Bar. Im at 6.5" of lift running STOCK PITMAN ARM,... STOCK DRAGLINK,....And A ZJ TIEROD. And have never had any DW. Or Bump Steer. Everything is as tight as it was stock. Never had a problem. And my draglink and trac bar are still with in spec to one another.

so do you think I'll be okay with this bracket and no pitman arm at 4.5 inches? I'm planning on running RE adjustable double shear track bar as well.

Ya you should definitely be good to go with just the RE HD Trac-Bar Frame Mount. And the RE Trac-Bar. You don't need a drop pitman arm at 4.5" of lift. Heck i'm at 6.5" and I don't even need one. So you should definitely be fine
