Default Need track bar brackets after lift installation

Like others, my axles aren't centered under the vehicle after the lift. I can't seem to find just the track bar brackets that drop the frame mount for the track bar 2.5". Do you guys know the online retailer that has them??

For the back, you should be able to get one made by TeraFlex. Give David a call at Northridge4x4 and I'm sure he might be able to help you out. As far as the front goes, you really should get a new adjustable track bar instead of relocating it with a bracket.

First off, unless you have a dropped pitman arm installed, the addition of a trac bar bracket will cause your trackbar to no longer be parallel with your drag link. Second, the stresses that your front axle see are significantly more than what your rear end sees and I think a new track bar would handle these stresses better than would a bracket that gets bolted onto the factory mount.
