Hey guys I am needing to get me an adjustable track bar for my 96, it has a 5" short arm lift. I've seen a couple online and was wondering anybody's opinion on brand or best bang for the buck. Thanks

People like iron rock off road too. I personally don't run it, but I've seen it recommended several times. You can't go wrong with most of the big name brand double shears out there

Iron Rock Offroad double sheer with bracket: I run this on my WJ, and once this dang snow and ice clears one will be going on my XJ when I lift it. They are very strong, and my WJ has almost 20k road miles on it and several wheeling trips and the bushings are still in great shape!

I'll give another vote to the iron rock double shear track bar. I've been running it for about a year and a half. DD weekend wheeler with at least two wheeling trips a month April - November. It's held up great. Strongest bar for the best price

These days that is the case. Four years ago I paid under $200 for the bar & bracket. I was surprised how much their prices have gone up. Catering to the wrangler crowd, they are..

They are basically the exact same thing so, to me, $50 more is ridiculous. I have both bars and the only real difference is iro uses a bushing in double shear and RK uses a heim. The brackets and everything else are almost identical
