I have welded up the old one and even made a new end and it still broke. Any ideas? Thanks.

You need a bigger, better, heavy dutier track bar.
 
Re: tarc bar proplems

OK back on the actual topic.

You are sitting too high for most track bars. I personally would bring the lift down to 6-7 inches, but that's just me. You can still run 35's with proper bump stops.

You didn't say what type of end is on the track bar. If it is a tie rod end style you are way over the limit on its movement. If it is a heim joint style you are not out of its limit but the angle of the track bar at 9" must be killer.
Can you post up a pick of the steering and track bar . Basically from side to side pic of the front and we may be able to help you out a bit better..

Check to make sure the trackbar isn't hitting the axle mount when the passenger side droops. This is a common issue with some t-bar designs where it will hit the mount on droop and cause it to snap. My gf's bro had a bds t-bar and it flexed too much and snapped it right at that very spot.

rock krawler makes a track/trac/tarc bar for 6-8 of lift, i actually just got mine and its made from solid tubing with a hiem joint, super beef!

OP: You never did answer these questions. A little more info would be helpful.
