JKS Sector Shaft Reinforcement Kit Anybody?
#51
Anyone aside from heatreater running the Rock solid brace with a Rock Krawler track bar? The RK track bar definitely goes up instead of out. I assume it works on his setup but he has more lift than I do. Anyone with around a 3.5-4.5" lift with RK tb have the RS brace?
Have one sitting in a box...

I also want to run the drag-link flip and trackbar riser, which will further push up my trackbar, possibly causing interference...

For me, this wasn't that painful as I was running the stock TB before and so hadn't invested in a 3rd party yet. But after my buddy broke his steering box (the lower bracket cracked and the two bolts sheered) this fall, we both decided it was time to strengthen up. So far no problems.

What's the proper trackbar? I have their newest version the 3rd Gen and it looks like there is enough clearance. My guys are gonna tack it and check for articulation before fully welding it in. I told them that if it looks even the slightest bit sketchy to not bother.

Nevermind got off the phone with Dave and apparently JKS has a newer version of their trackbar that fully works with this system. So now I had to call the shop tell them not to bother even trying to fit it and ordered the newest trackbar from Dave. What a pain in the ass this damn kit is becoming. So if anyone is interested next week I'll have a 3rd Gen JKS trackbar that's only a month old up for sale.
