Does anyone run with the Rocky Road adj. track bar. Would you recommend it, or is it a piece of ****?

Dude forget the TRE ends... Look at IRO's double shear trackbar. I've got a Rusty's adjustable for mine and go through TRE's quicker than I would like. Luckily mine has an M22 x 1.5 LH threading so I can adapt mine to double shear; should of just done that in the first place.

^ yeah except I'm a little put off on Rusty's. I have their steering conversion and although it seems stout it contacts my trac bar bolt head when I steer hard over and they just keep telling me it'll be fine...thanks...well thought out... Then I called them once and Rusty's wife, I suppose, answered the phone and REFUSED to tell me what the bolt size was on the axle end. She acted as if that information was lost and that she couldn't help me. Not to mention her ****ty attitude... I will likely never buy from Rusty's again. Everyone at IRO is just happy to talk Jeeps and explain how they came to what they're doing these days... I have their 3 link system and love it.


I like how its double shear, as long as that body connection end holds up, and that they provide you with a drill bit to drill out the axle end. That's what I did with my Rusty's bar. They use a M10 x70mm low head hexagonal socket bolt and its just too small so you can't take up that play. I've since installed an M12 low head from fastenal, redrilled my axle end sleeve and its helped a lot. Now all I have to do is swap the TRE for a double shear bracket from IRO. Learn from my mess...

i run oro uturn steering did not like the rustys steering system and getting rid of the tre end on the iron track bar would be a big plus

Where did you order your uturn steering from?

The problem I am encountering is that the IM4x4 says its for 4"-8", I only have 3" right now.

Thats why originally I was going to get the rusty's because its for 2.75"-5",but everybody is telling me to run as far away from TRE's as I can.

I still have the stock track bar on, so any is a upgrade.
