Wow! That thing looks beefy! Can you explain the reason for the new type of adjuster being used over a rod end style.

This is purely speculation on my part, but probably so it can be adjusted while ON the Jeep. With a bent bar and rod ends, you have to unbolt it.

Actually, it's not "new". Tera has used them for a while. I had one on my TJ back in 2002 that used the same sleeve adjustment. I loved it, but others I had read about had issues with the adjuster loosening under flex.

Yes, absolutely. It would be a minute amount, of course, but if you do not correct the axle first, which would be the reason the wheel is off center, then there would be a difference. However small. The steering box is centered with the vehicle at the stock ride height. As you raise the front, because of the track bar, the axle is dragged off center. If you do not re-center the axle with the track bar, and center it with the drag link, then you will lose a small amount of turn in one direction. It ain't theroy. It's fact.

That's nice. Do you plan on offering a discount to forum members?

I just ordered the full traction rear adjustable track bar. Only because Rubicon Express is still developing theirs and I don't want to wait 2-3 months. Next best thing Full Traction.

I have a Rubicon Express front adj track bar and have wheeled it a lot. No issues.

My lift came with a real hefty relocation bracket on the passenger side. Some of the kits I have seen put the relocation bracket on the drivers side, I heard that some of these are prone to breaking the welds off the factory mount at the axle.

It increases the lever arm on the mount without adding additional fastening point or distributing the load.

Heard that from someone else on the forum, possibly they may be making a shorter adj trackbar or one that doesn't adj as far as it should. If that's the case then there is no point in putting that track bar on. Unless you don't use the bracket and your lowering your jk then I guess you need a shorter one. Maybe there being politically correct Superlift-Supernolift- Superlowride all in one trackbar
