so im thinking about building my own track bar but was wondering about the bends in it. whats the deal with them? is there a specific place to put the bends or can i just match the stock bends? its going on a 4.5" lift. ive also seen some real custom setups that dont have a bend at all. thanks.

The bends are for clearance over the gear housing.

I think I read that lifts over 6" dont have axle clearance issues so you can run a straight track bar.
I think you can bend it how you like as long as you clear the diff cover. Dont quote me on that though...

the bends also reduce the working angle on the joints.

If you really want to make life easy just get an over the axle bracket and build your straight trackbar. Then llater on if you decide to go with OTK steering or a WJ swap you'll be set!

If you go with a double sheer frame bracket the angle of the trackbar would be a non issue?

If you are gonna do the work to build a track bar, make it straight.

I just think if you are going through the work of building a track bar, you should build the best type.

the reduction in the angle is also good for the axle side since you have to clear the bracketry on the axle. :cheers:

gotta mount on top of axle if your building a straight TB with that lift or it will bind on stock mount, i have a double shear IRO TB works great , strong too, landed it on a rock last weeked , only scraped paint
