Yeah thats a good question..

Teraflex?

personally even is I was going to keep the stocker I would weld the brackets. Call it a cheap insurance policy

What do you mean by weld the brackets? Where exactly?

greenamphibious

where they connect to the frame and axle and truss them up

Hellbound13

So you mean weld over the existing welds..

Also I meant to ask, as far as installing it can I just set it to the factory length and be good to go since Im not lifted? Or is there something else I must do to make sure my axle and steering are centered?

Should I adjust it to the factory length then put it on?

The #1753418 will work in a stock JK. So far I have not torn my brackets off (9,000) miles on mine. You do not need to modify or install new brackets for this trackbar.

it will def fit stock height... it comes adjusted all the way in and it is just a touch shorter than OEM... couple turns and you should be good to go. I think the rear trac bar bracket is the one that most people end up ripping off.

So should I adjust it to the stock length before putting it on? Measure eye to eye on both I assume?

jeep on the ground, pop oem off, make sure axle is centered, attach axle side mount, turn trac until it meets up with frame side hole and torque both sides to 125lb
