So my XJ is stock, and it needs a new trackbar... where it attaches to the "frame" the joint is popping and moves alot... soooo, i will be lifting 3 inches and going with an adjustable... my question is, can i get an adjustable now and run it stock height??? All the ones ive seen have a lift amount on them... I would hate to buy an oem one now and upgrade it in a couple months... also, what does "double sheer" mean??

 

Double shear means the bolt is supported on both sides by the bracket.

I don't know of any aftermarket adjustable trackbars that can be used at stock ride height without moving the axle too far to the passenger side.

JY trackbar sounds like your besrt bet at this point.

 

Well if an aftermarket adjustable tb wont fit on a stock setup, then i guess i will just get a new oem one...

 

i have your answer OP but it may not be cheap. here goes.

IRO has an upgraded stock style trac bar. stronger beefy, etc. When you lift, they have the conversion kit to make that track bar an adjustable DS one. check their site out and you'll see what I mean.

sorry Frank, not trying to ruin future customers, but seeing this can be a safety issue, id rather he fix it now and maybe do it so it doesnt hAve to be done twice.

 

Why don't you just replace the TRE and then get a new DS TB when you lift it.

 

stock TB is 1 piece iirc. been a while since i had one so i may have forgot if its actually servicable

 

The tb looks to be 1 piece... im not sure how i would change a tre that doesnt come off... I appreciate the info and suggestions though...

 

Bud I have a stock one that's not that old if ya want it. I won't charge you anything but shipping. It's got a touch of rust on it from sitting. Might have 3k miles on it. It might just be cheaper for you to source one locally though. My zip is 36092. Hope this helps

 

Wow, I appreciate that!! I think that I can get a new cheap one from parts store for like 60... but i really appreciate the offer!!!

 

No problem..gotta keep the jeeples safe out there

 

Im not tryin to "cheap out"... just dont wana do somethin that i know will be upgrading soon... hey, it is what it is...

 

thats understandable and it isn't cheaping out at all. first priority is safety always. If there was the extra frosting to be had such as a simple upgrade in the future or anything, thats the +1. Good luck getting it fixed up. i know the feeling of driving with a shotty TB.

 

Is it? I'm in the same boat haven't seen one in a while.

 

If you have Amazon Prime, you can get it for .

 

Rough country makes one that's good for stock height to 4" I believe.
