If you mean adjustable...
I like my JKS.

Whats it for? Do you want just an adjustable single sheer type or do you want a new TB bracket and so forth?

The best way to go is a new bracket and double sheer trackbar end but I dont know if you can use that because I dont know how much, if any, lift you have. generally the trackbars with brackets are too long for anything under 3-4" of lift.
I just put one of these from Iron Rock http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merc...en=PROD&Store_Code=IROR&Product_Code=IR-STBCK
on and for the money, its a good product. BUT, I have about 3" of lift and had to cut the bar down a little so it would fit. I told them, I dont know if they have changed anything or not.

Depends on your lift amount and needs. for 0-3" I'd go JKS (wish I had the money) for 3"+ I think I'd to TnT Customs. Great set up and great price. I asked TnT if they could make a short one for me and they said "nope" I was bummed.
I currently have a Black Diamond with a heim and I replace a heim every 9 months or so. They cost me about $12 through a local race shop for Midwestcontrol.com but I'd love to solve the problem permanently.

Your not going to get the best for less than 240. The jks is only 204 from jeepinoutfitters.
The Rubicon express heavy duty trackbar and heavy duty bracket are really stout, but they are more than 240

Ray,
I'm at about 2.5" How much did you have to cut off your bar to get it to fit? Is it threaded internally or did you need to weld on a new bung?

In that case take a good look at the Iron Rock. It compares to the other HD trackbar systems and is under your $240 limit.

Its theaded internally. All I had to do is cut it straight (I used a band saw) and I didnt have any problems at all getting the end to screw in. I also had to cut the threaded end off the same amount.
It was about 1/4" too long but I cut off about 3/4" to give myself a little adjustment. That left a good 2.5" of threads still inside the bar.
I did a short writup on the good, bad and ugly of it. I'll see if I can find it.
EDIT: heres that little writeup I did on the Iron Rock TB. Its at the very end of the thread. http://www.naxja.org/forum/showthread.php?t=935719&page=3

I have a 4" lift and 31's. I HAD a rusty's bar with the stock mount and with the little tires and lift it hit the oil pan and the diff rubbed it so hard I wore out 3 bar ends in 2 years. With a big lift it would work. I now have the Iron Rock double sheer kit and it's exellent. It's made out of cold rolled solid steal and clears my lift great. If you call Iron Rock they will make you a shorter one. Good guys.
