I have a '99 XJ with 5.5" of lift. I have an RE1660 HD trackbar with the RE1665 trackbar bracket. Rubicon Express' website says that it can accomodate 4-6" of lift and that it has "more length adjustability than other bars." It has been installed for 15 years on my '99 XJ with 5.5" of lift. The axle has always been about 1/2" out of centre when on level ground. The trackbar is fully extended, with a few threads grabbing inside the tube (I don't recall how many, perhaps somewhere in the 1/8" to 1/2" range). I just remember not feeling safe extending it any further. Is there any way to get more length out of this trackbar to centre the axle? Is Rubicon Express over selling the lift range of their product?
I figure that if I had a piece of threaded rod and a long sleeve, I can add length to the existing trackbar. Is there a better way to do this? Can Rusty's trackbar w/bracket (RC-TB200-UV) really accommodate 4-8" of lift? If so, why wouldn't Rubicon Express just make their trackbar a little longer? I e-mailed Rubicon Express about this issue, but no reply as of yet. I'm seeking assistance from the community. Thanks.
