Adjustable track bars and short lifts

[gcam]

I am lifting my XJ about 2". This is a daily driver and camping vehicle, that's all. My track bar bushing is pretty well shot, and I want to replace the OEM track bar with an adjustable and rebuildable aftermarket unit. I like the idea of an adjustable track bar because they offer more flex, they are rebuildable, and that if I want to add more lift later I can.

My local shop has told me that the Skyjacker unit is not to be used with less than 4" of lift, and the RE unit is for 3.5" and up. Can I still use one of these under my XJ with 2" of lift?

I'm thinking that with an OEM track bar, my axle will be offset to one side a bit, and with an adjustable one my alxe will be offset to the opposite side a bit.

So what do you think? Go for the adjustable? Does anyone know of one that is made to be used with lower lifts?

Thanks,
Geoff

I'd say go for a good adjustable such as the JKS trackbar.
P/N OGS126 works with 1-3.5" of lift. I've run that model for a while with no problems or regrets.

I have the Rustys Offroad Adjustable trackbar with the heavy duty trackbar mount. It's solid and I was able to adjust it from shen I went from 4 inches of lift to 6. Not sure about 2 inches, but I wouldnt see why not. Check it out here
