i'm not looking for which one is better. i'm just interested in what is the difference between RE's and Rusty's non-heavy duty track bar.

thanks in advance.

cheers,

i know a little about each:
RE non-HD trackbar uses a Heim join in a single shear setup
The tube is taped for 1" theads at the end, but has a shim/spacer dealy that screws into the 1" threads and gets the threads down to 3/4" where the Heim attaches.
This requires drilling out your current mount and keeping the bolt tight as hell!

single shear Heim - not the best idea IMHO

The Rusty's used to use the stock TRE that is on all cherokees - same as the RRO bar - but has recently switched to another part (not sure which - its on their site)
The threads at the end are an un-conventional 11/16" and if deciding to upgrade from a lesser version later - makes thins interesting (that is what i am trying to do)

Both have a poly? bushing at the axle mount
Both use the stock frame mount (keeping your geometry the same by not dropping it at all)

yeah - i might think of more later...

aight
good luck
