JKS rear bracket and reinforcement gusset arriving on Thurdsay from Northridge with a pair of JKS track bars. Threw in an EVO front axle C gusset kit to give my welder more billable hours. Tow truck picks her up Thursday afternoon. Thanks for all of the advice.

Do not use a Axle mount bracket unless it is the Teraflex one, that's the only one that that I know of that is safe. Rubicon Express has a nice rear frame mount one..

I don't think you need it at all with that kit. Personally I would get a better kit

would an adjustable rear trac bar keep this from happening?

Yes, maybe, depends upon how hard you wheel.
I don't like trac bar brackets and would never use one.
Plain and simple the mounts on the tubes cannot handle the added stress of a track bar bracket.

I don't know of anyone who has broken a axle trac bar bracket wtih an ADj trackbar. If you have chime in.
