JKS front trackbar question.....
I went to hit the purchase button on a new trackbar this morning and then noticed it says "some drilling required".....Here is the JKS part # I am looking at, PN OGS1211......is this the right one?....Should it not be a bolt on item?
Thanks for any help, I realy want to get this purchased today so I can have it on for next weekend....
here is a link to the JKS site showing the bar..

I am also concerned because it says it is good for 0 to 6" of lift.....seems like allot of adjustment to me, I only have a 2" lift. I have driven it tis way for over 20K miles with no problems, but I want to put quick discos on it and I am thinking my axle should be centered to disconnect.....Am I right on this thinking?

yep, install was fairly easy, 21mm socket and wrench and a torque wrench that can be set at 125ft lbs. my wife even said the ride is different. the instructions say the lower bent joint needs to be up due to suspension clearence while articulating. I got mine cheaper through Quadratec

Installed mine Thursday and went wheelin this weekend. What a differance having a adjustable trackbar made. No more wobble or anything. Just make sure you recenter your steering wheel when finished
