LOL!! yes, i know that but is the bracket the one that attaches to the axle mount or the frame mount and if it's the axle, does it come with a support strap. i have installed a couple of these in the past and i can't seem to remember for sure. i'm pretty sure it has a support strap and if it does, you will be fine with it.

just two brackets no strap sorry for the dumbness before have not crawled under to look things over. my main concern is the post i have seen on factory trac bar brackets breaking. will this one cause that?. do i need to just get adj trac bars?. will have to get one for the front as this is only for rear. or will i be fine with none. jeep drives great after lift i did not even need to adjust steering wheel but i do notice the rear sits to one side now.

the factory bracket can snap even with stock suspension... just get it welded up and you'll be fine. But yest relocation brackets seem to add to the problem.

if there are no extra supports, i would not run this bracket even if it were welded up. the leverage placed on the axle mount is severe and over time, it will break off. if you can afford it, i would recommend getting an adjustable track bar.

Rear Adjustable Track Bar Relocation Bracket
Hi Everyone,
I have done a little searching; but, so far I haven't found an explanation that satisifies me.
I have an '08 JK 2-door. I recently purchased (and am almost completed the installation of) an OME LT kit from David at Northridge.
Adjustable front and rear track bars were provided with the kit.
I believe that I have read that there have been problems with the rear axle bracke failing. With the adjustable track bar, should I buy a more substantial bracket and have it welded on? Or, with this set up should I be okay if I keep from any extreme wheeling?
(What about the front?)
Thanks for any advice.
Jeff
