Who did you order it through? I'll see if I can chase down some tracking.

I did an online order from you guys. I just ordered last night but still have no tracking. No biggie. Just anxious to get it.

Green,

Do you think it is so much bigger that it wouldn't fit a lifted Jeep?

I think the thinking is that the Teraflex would not flex as much whcih is most likely what is wallowing out the hole mounts. I certainly hope it does not put more stress on the mounts. I am looking to make things better, not worse.

None with mine. Trust me if it did, I would be all over R&D on it.

I would think if anything it would quell vibration by being more stout?

Teraflex,

Do you see any issue with running it on a stock Jeep or it wallowing out the holes? I have already had to weld washers thanks to the stock track bar.

Wow that is a lot bigger. Now I am wondering if that is gunna even fit on mine.

Also that has the clevite bushing on both ends. Better than the crappy one the stock one has on the axle side.
