Default Stock height track bar replacement.

So my track bar bracket has a huge crack in it. I'm looking at replacing it with a heavy duty adjustable for when i eventually lift and because i cant find a stock replacement bracket at a decent price.

I really like the clayton setup. Measuring everything from the specs on their site it should work, however I have been told by them that I need at least 3 inches of lift. Does anyone have any experience with it on a stock height vehicle.

Also, does anyone know of a HD track bar that will work at stock height?

You will want an Adj. Dbl. Shear Track Bar for the 4 1/2" of lift, or most would. Few will fit at stock height so buy a used one at a JY to use till you finally do a lift then buy what you need a used one should be cheap.

I have think I have found one from Kevin's off-road which is supposed to work at 1" lift which is what mine came with factory. Only problem with it is their bracket. I have gotten ahold of them and if the bushing is the right size I'm going to try it with the Clayton double shear bracket.
