Default Teraflex Monster Forged Trackbar

Can someone tell em who has this how it compares to the stock one? How much stronger does it appear? Also does it have any benefits besides centering the axle?

why would a trac bar need to be heavy duty or "MONSTER"?
all it does is center your axle, it does'nt come into contact with any rocks!
what needs to be heavy duty or "MONSTER" is your OE drag link and lower control arms as they are prone to come into contact with rocks...As long as the trac bar is equal to or stronger than stock and adjustable...
just my opinion! unless theres something im not aware of.....

I'm no expert on track bar but, my common sense tells me that a stock track bar or one equal to it is just fine for normal driving and light wheeling. Now, I can only imagine the amount of stress that we put our parts under when doing moderate to heavy wheeling. Sure it "only" centers your axel but, think about how hard that is when you're wheeling! Look, our stock track bar may be just fine under the pressure although, I for one, am happy that I do have the TF monster track bar for peace of mind. It's just another part that I don't have to worry about being a weak point on my jeep. I bet the TF weighs about twice fi not more than the stock one does. Install per the instuctions could be better. I used WOL's write up on the FT track bar to guide me on the install the TF track bar.

the fordge piece is beef thats for sure I used it to replace the other teraflex track bar. When you start getting into flexing the jk or boucing around with side load you put alot of force on to the track bars if well worth the money

"This massive heavy duty forged front adjustable trackbar is designed as the ultimate in front end strength to eliminate any front end shimmy or handling issues- this Monster trackbar is 230% stronger than the factory trackbar." Get the point?

When lifting your JK 3" or more a adjustable trackbar is almost a given. With any to the brands mentioned above you should have no problems as long as you have the proper torque specs. Now, if you want the strongest for peace of mind go with the Teraflex HD trackbar. I did and I have no issues plus you get the great customer service Teraflex offers.
