Trac bar advice

After work I added 1.75" spacers to get the jeep level. I am now at 6.5" in the front. I think its time to ditch the Rustys trac bar since its only rated up to 5" of lift. Planning on going with a different company this time but I am unsure if I need the drop bracket/double sheer or stay with the TRE style trac bar. Heres a pic of my geometry. Its pretty close to parallel. Thanks again guys.

X3! but the RE HD trackbar bracket will lower the mounting point at the frame end making your trackbar more horizontal. This is a good thing but in order to keep the draglink parallel you will need to also get a drop pitman arm. Can anyone chime in here and tell us by how much it will lower the TB frame mounting point?
 
X4... i just ditched my rusty's for that... definatly a pretty sweet setup
 
I just installed that RE track bar and bracket as well, way more beefy than the stocker. At 6.5", running a TRE style track bar is a really bad move, the angles must be horrible.

I cannot justify $75 for that brace, no way in hell.

It doesn't,the RE bracket locates the joint at the same "centerline" as a factory bracket and TRE.

Not to argue, but the RE page describes it as a "drop bracket."

I think I've still got my stock bracket in the garage (I never throw nothin away), I'll try to measure the two and check...

I think RCP is right, I measure 5 to 5-1/4" on each one.

I was wrong, happens all the time!

Sorry.
