Default Trackbar Bracket?

Hey guys,

My rear trackbar bracket is pretty bent and cracked in a couple of places. It is obvious to me that I will need to replace it and get a new one put on. My question is what bracket should I get? I am currently running a skyjacker 2 inch bb, but will hopefully be upgrading sometime in the next year to a rubi express 2.5 or a 3 inch(brand not yet decided). I have looked at the Artec weld-on, adjustable bracket. Does anyone have any experience with this one or a better recommendation? I couldn't find one similar to the oem. My worry with this is that the lowest setting could still be too high for my measly budget boost.

Thanks

I don't have it installed, but I have a Synergy one in the garage that was given to me. Looks pretty beefy and like it would work out great! Have the Rock Krawler one installed.

Artec has a stock replacement and the raised bracket has a stock hole location. Get the raised artec.
