Default Rock krawler rear track bar question.
I just installed the rock krawler rear track bar and I need advice. What angle do you have the bend on the track bar? I set my bend where it bends towards the rear. Is this correct???

The rear towards the bumper is how I have mine. Cause when I had it straight it would rest on the diff cover while flexing.

Set it up so that it bends slightly away from the axle just enough to clear the springs but also you want the tip of the bend pointing up.

It should look similar to this.

smashboogie and tslewisz how is the exhaust setup with your trackbar? hitting it when flexed??

smashboogie looks like you cut yours just before the trackbar? did you add another hanger or is it just dangling there?

Typically they are slightly rolled to the rear of the vehicle! Give us a shout if you have any other questions.

It looks like it should hit it, but if it does I don't notice. If it does, the rubber exhaust hangers would just let it ride up and back down with no harm.
