Looking for comments on the best track bar for a 3"-4.5" lift? Was leaning toward the JKS.

JKS, Rock Krawler, Iron Rock are all quality. Depending on how hard you wheel it you could get away with something like the RE track bar if you're looking to shave cost.

But like anyone will tell you, if you save up for just a bit longer and go with something more bullet proof do it.

I have an RE and my upper bushing is about shot. If I had to choose a different one I'd probably be leaning towards either IRO, rock krawler, or TNT.

I believe dirtbound has the IRO kit with bracket for around 190$.

My jks (actually was ORGS... the brand before jks) lasted 100k before I had to replace it. Food for thought.

how much is it $240? I'd much rather go rock krawler. labeled as "bomb proof" with life time warranty and comes with a bracket.
money WELL spent http://www.rockkrawler.com/

I have a JKS... great build quality, HOWEVER make damned sure the bolts are tight. Apparently i somehow managed to let one remain fairly loose and it ended up wallowing out the hole, now I have permanent death wobble.

Thanks for the input. I'm not a serious off roader ( very little of good terrain in my neck of the woods for it) I did want a unit that I could repair on a trail with parts from a auto supply if necessary and still get daily driver life out of the joints and extra firm bushing compliance!

For a Wrangler with the upper mount welded to the frame, I prefer the JKS. The Cherokee has a bolt on upper mount. When taxed to it's limit it's more likely to try to rip the mount off the frame/body. The double shear style track bar is much preferred on a Cherokee and allows for more movement.
