I have this lift in my JK. I ordered the drop pitman arm with the kit. It comes with every thing you need to install the lift. Some people don't like the track bar relocation brackets, because they break off the axle. I have not had this happen. So I guess if you are going to do some seroius wheeling, you might want to get adjustable track bars, then you won't use these brackets. The track bar is a rod that goes from the axle up to the frame, and keeps the axle centered under the frame. I've been very happy with this lift.

Be aware you will want to purchase the rear trackbar bracket support bracket as the rear trackbar relocation bracket has issues with breaking. It sounds crazy but I have this and after I installed the rear trackbar relocation bracket the welds on the factory bracket broke from the axle. The 7000 series shocks are no better than the factory rubicon shocks. I am slowly swapping out parts from my kit with Rubicon Express.

For what its worth???
This has been addressed with revised bracketry. Mine came with the new one

i have the same lift, do not recommend.
1. you need adj. arms because there is no camber adj. in JK
2. get longer track bar because eventualy like me you will rip of original brackets
3. think of getting new drive shaft

pay a litle more and get rubicon exp. its worth it

THanx all for the useful info, but this jeep won't be doing much wheeling and if it will then it will be just sand and sand dunes or beach sand. I would not want something very expensive too. where would i find this bracket and is it pricey?
