Default Rear Track Bar Suggestions?

Hey everyone im looking at replacing/re-inforcing my factory rear track bar bracket as they are prone to breaking and bending. Mine is starting to bend so im looking to re-inforce it, also I been looking to also getting a rear track bar. Now I ran into a rear track bar bracket that is available with a cam bolt design in to use the factory track bar while at the same time re-inforcing it. Is anyone running this particular track bar bracket? I was told to by a friend if I get this bracket and do mild offroading it will get out of alignment because of the cam bolt design. Is this true? Right now I have 2 inches of lift and later will have about 4 inches of lift. If you all dont recommend this bracket then which bracket? I understand by going to another bracket I will get an adjustable track and for that route I have a track choice already

I have the track bar relocation bracket and the original track bar. I've ordered the JKS adjustable TB and reinforcing bracket. Seems like a pretty good setup from what I've read

By the way, after this, I will have replaced the sway bar disconnects, two front coil springs and trackbar relocation bracket from the Full Traction Premium kit. Not too happy about that.

if your going to a 4" lift.. what kit are you looking to buy? if it is a complete kit it should come with something to address that. I went AEV it came with a rear trackbar relocation bracket which is super strong and a new trackbar.

If I were to do it again I would go the exact same route.

I talked to David at Northridge the other day. He advised me to wait for the new JKS adjustables. He said that he should have them in a couple of weeks and that they are awesome.

If this is the case, then its worth the wait. JKS makes great products and they use factory bushings.

Although the charge a premium and are not discounted.
