So they're on there 3rd version of this trackbar? I thought there was only 2. I tried putting the latest version on my JK this weekend, and it doesn't fit worth a crap. I took it back off and put the old one back on.

I had the Gen1 - paid to replace with Gen2 some time back and thought I was good. Is the Gen2 also an unsafe track bar? Do we need to pay again to "upgrade" to the Gen3 or Gen4?

Did not realize there were so many versions. I think I am running the 2nd generation bar, and I think it is safe to use.

If your trackbar has a big bend in it around the differental cover it is the old version. The newer version is much straighter. Northridge warrentied mine for me. I had to cover the shipping is all.

Fourth gen... Man how many versions to get it right!!?? I do have some issues with there 3rd Gen and the frame side brace.

Most of my issues with the brace come with full stuff on driver side and the brace hits the corner of the Spring perch.

I have the 4th Gen on its way to me it'll be here Monday, they aren't swapping out for this version had to pay full upgrade price through Dave. Its my only option since I have the rest of the sector shaft kit sitting in my house right now waiting to be installed and its the only trackbar that will work with it.
