Exactly. I'll have to check the dom jks is using. I actually developed death wobble from the jks front track bar i used to have cuz it was deflecting 3/4 an inch up n down. Still gotta call them on that its sitting in my garage lol.

I know right...I was at arabias overkill in california cause I couldn't figure it out. They went through everything and then discovered the track bar was bending as the steering wheel was turned a few degrees back an forth. It was crazy everyone from the shop was like wtf! haha. Anyways replaced it with the forged tf one an solved the problem instantly. The geometry made for a rough ride so thats when I bit the bullet and did the drag flip/track bar drop.

dude you are lucky as hell. That is the kinda issue people never figure out. I am really debating doing the drag flip, a drop bracket in he back and the rancho brackets. freekin a it ads up. I may have to use a bracket and pitman in the front. I had a drop pitman and I sold it cause I really don't like a big ass lever on my gear box. Ill kick myself if I don't do it the right way like you did. just how I am... even if it never breaks... I will be thinking about it. It laughing at me while I try to sleep.

only issue I see is if you use it with the current tera bracket and the trackbar is too long. But I think if that was the case getting the stock trackbar shortened to work. may not be a bad idea either. But I dunno. Lets say you got 4" of lift... that axle moved 4 full inches down. How many inches did the trackbar bracket move the trackbar bolt up? surely not 4"? I think maybe it is worth looking into. I dunno.

Good job on the avatar btw.

My problem with the Tera drop bracket is that the bolt for the track bar its self is hitting and killing my right rear shock. Talked to TeraFlex Joe and he is sending me the axle bracket.

hmm weird. Maybe I'll call them an ask/tell them what I'd like to do, they've always been so helpful its nice. I've got the rear axle side bracket and I have it set in the middle. It can go an inch or so higher but I have to get the adjustable bar first. You'll be happy with the bracket its stout.
