Default Which track bar for me

I’m installing a re 3.5” kit soon. I’m going to get an adjustable track bar for the lift. Which do you guys recommend? I’m trying not to spend a tone. The Jeep doesn’t get wheeled hard. It is mainly daily driven with the occasional seasonal road but nothing serious. I was thinking of just getting the rubicon express one as it’s $120 on Amazon.

RE1600, you can use the double shear bracket they make if you just drill the bracket out to 5/8" or buy new misalingment spacers to accept the smaller bolt.

Why do I need the bracket with the re1600? From what I’m aware of the 1600 just bolts to the existing bracket. The 1610 is the double shear that requires the re bracket

You dont need the bracket. It will bolt up to your stock bracket. The double sheer is stronger and drops your track bar down for better angles when you lift your jeep

Yea it's not required, just saying for future ideas you won't need to replace it with another track bar if you wanted to run it double shear. Just giving ideas, i've been with the stock bracket for something like 3 years now no issues.
