Default Track bar?

Anyone have a recommendation on a track bar for 6.5 inch lift? Ive looked at Rustys, Rough Country, IRO, Serious, and JKS. Ive seen good and bad reviews on all. Anyone running one from these brands?

I'v been running the RE HD trackbar for years, I like the ease of rebuild and the JJ/rubber bushing seem to wear well also.

If I were to buy another, i'd have to look at Claytons, judging by the quality of his Long Arm kit on the rig.

I have an IRO for the rear (ZJ), it's a solid bar vs the JKS I was considering. It's only been on about 100 miles so I don't have feedback on the bushings yet.

RK bomb proof track bar or RE track bar. I run the IRO and it's quite nice as well

I'm running the track bar and drop bracket that came with my rock krawler long arms. Haven't had any issues. It's probably not the cheapest route to go though.

What track bar are you running now? I really like the ironman fab track bar. A friend of mine just installed one on his xj that thing is pure beef. I believe It also allows for stretching your front axle as well. I say no to rustys and RC.

I run an RE track bar on my 87, I like it. Been wheeling hard with it and driving the Jeep every day for a few months now, it works great, does what its supposed to. And can withstand some abuse.

What bad things have you heard about IRO or the one from Serious (which is RE by the way)? Out of curiosity...
