Default Track bar help

Im having problems with my rough country track bar end link. So im going to upgrade to one that has a heim joint and was wondering who makes the best one. I will also be upgrading to an high steer setup at the same time it that matters or not.

dunno about heim joint track bars.... you mean double shear? I went with iron rock offroad. If you go with a "High Steer" or over the knuckle steering setup, there's some that connect the drag link still below the knuckle and some that move the entire thing above... if you move it above, you will need to relocate one of the mounts for your track bar so the angle matches or you will have bump steer. Iron rock's still has the drag link connecting below the knuckle, but everything else is above.

Wellll thats because its rough country. It seams like all of their stuff is good besides any sort of bushing or link. I say go with IRO or Rock Krawler.

the best trackbar deal out there now is rockkrawler. sure other companies gloat about having the strongest bar and bracket out there. but most of them use stock size bolts. rockjrawler uses 9/16 bolts. significantly stronger than 10mm bolts(which i have broken countless times) a chain is only as strong as its weakest link

Since i have a 6.5" lift should i go with the 4.5-6.5" track bar or the one thats for 6.5-8.0" of lift. I plan on adding coil spacers on the front and i can lift my shackles an inch in the back still but that will be later on down the road.
