Weird trackbar installation

Hi,

I got myself a RE1660 trackbar. The axle end uses 0.5" bolt, the stock trackbar uses 3/8". I want to make sure this trackbar will work with my lift before drilling my trackbar axle mount. In order to do that, I want to get a sleeve with 0.5" OD and 0.37" ID, get it inside the tube that is already in the bushing.

I might need to file the sleeve a bit, but that's fine with me. This way I will be able to use my stock bolts and leave my mount holes at 3/8". It is not going to be a permanent fix, just to drive around for a couple of weeks, check for binding.

Is the following material going to work for me?

I think that would work out - what are your reservations about using that sleeve?

RE still sells the 10mm sleeves!

What do you mean by "reservations" ?

The idea is to do the test without any irreversible modifications neither to the axle nor to the trackbar.

Thank you,

RE1660 trackbar does NOT work with RE 3.5" lift. I swung it around the axle mount bolt and I am confident I need 0.5" more of lift.
RE stated correctly, 4" lift is the minimum this part works with.

x2 don't waste your time trying to sleeve a sleeve!
