Yes. And specifics depend on what bar/bracket you got.

If you got one that's going on the stock bracket, shouldn't take long at all. Always Easyer if you have an extra hand...

Thanks it just a simple rc adj trac bar

Yea it's pretty straight forward then, remove the old, and install the new.

Suggestion would be figure out how far off your axle is with the old/ I'm guessing stock bar...then do the math and figure out how much longer you need the bar and adjust before putting it in. At least that way you take some of the guessing out if it. And if you do need to adjust after install it will be damn close to what you need and should be able to get it within a few try's...instead of removing it 293929191 times to adjust.

Yep. And take a good look at the bracket side mount of the track bar before you get started. Mine was rusted to all hell and took some heat and oil to get it to break free.

Hoping you have a BFH and pickle fork.

Other wise you might be in some trouble.

Scherel

Thanks yeah its off maybe like 1-1.5 inches so shouldnt be too hard. Also got a new stabizer to install also but that should be easy

Did you have wobble issues? That's why your replacing these parts?

If so I'd do just the track bar first. Drive it and see if it helps. If not then the new steering stabilizer will just mask it for a month or few, then it will come right back.

stabilizers can be fun to remove.

Scherel

Haha I bet,yea I put the lift on and got the dw the next day driving around, only happened once though but yeah thats why im replacing trac bar but good idea I will hold off in the stabilizer

This is how I did mine

Unbolt the front track bar.
Bounce the suspension a few times.
Drive the jeep back and forth while turning the steering wheel slightly back and forth.
Park the Jeep and make sure the tires are pointing straight ahead.
Do a quick visual check to see if the axle is centered.

Adjust the new track bar to length and bolt it up.

Or you can measure...to be exact..outside of inner fender/uni-rail to outside of tire...I don't like eye balling things...that how stuff comes up short, parts wear quicker, and more problems arise down the road. of course like you said with the axle side trac bar unbolted, you can easily lean against the jeep and the body will shift over the axle. Do so until your measurements are spot on. And drive away with a perfectly centered axle.
