Default trac bars...

well i know this has been asked but im gonna ask again.. because i didnt find the answer for my specific question..

im planning on getting 3-3.5 inches of lift with my setup.. i have v8 ZJ coils and a 2 inch polly spacer. what do you guys suggest i do with the track bar... drill another hole? drop bracket? or adjustable.. this is a budget build so im pretty low on cash and would like to do this cheaply..

i have s10 packs for the rear btw..


the lift isnt put on yet but its my DD so i cant drive it around without it being aligned or getting death wobble. its a 2000 jeep xj

You can get by drilling a new hole to move the track bar over, but I'm personally not fond of that method. Lots of guys do it though. I went adjustable for my lift, its highly advised if your budget can swing it.

About $120 for the RE. Part number is RE1600. Use google shopping with the p/n to find the best price and/or free shipping.

I recommended the 1600 based on a tight budget, the other is nice but not necessary. If you think you'll lift about 5" at some point go for it, otherwise the other will work reat for you.
