Default trac bar relocation bracket
Can you use one with an adjustable trac bar?

Really theres no need for the bracket once you have an adjustable trac bar.

I don't know for sure about the rugged ridge I am putting on but I know my stock trac bar would hit the axle side mount and limit my droop. That's why I was wondering.

If you buy a double shear TB you have to use a new bracket and by now I don't get why anyone would buy a TB that's not a double shear.

Are you referring to an OTA track bar bracket? What steering are you planning on running?

So what we are discussing is a trac bar drop bracket then, not a relocation bracket. And in either case yes, you can and would want to use an adjustable trac bar with either one

I went with the Clayton HD track bar on mine. Couldn't be happier. https://www.claytonoffroad.com/templ...Drop%20Bracket
