Rough CountryRear Track Bar Bracket for 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK - 1167, Black

This corrected the offset rear axle i had after installing a 2.5 lift. It was easy to install though i couldnt drill down on the top hole due to clearance with my exhaust and drill but i think its still sturdy enough not to move.

Its pretty straight forward of how to install this. It lined up perfect and went in without any real issue. With one exeption. you have to have the lower shock bolt out or else you cant get to the nuts for installing the left tabs on the bracket.

Perfect part for relocating the track bar

It was a relatively easy install on my 2007 2 door JK with 2.5" lift. The only issue I ran into was the track bar bolt was going to rub on the coil spring. I am guessing this is related to the fact that I have not replaced the rear control arms yet and there is a slight curve in the coil spring as a result of the tilted axle (I could be wrong). My solution was to jack up the frame so that I had room to slide the track bar into the bracket and insert the bolt from the opposite side before then sliding the whole bracket down onto the axle mount. Doing it this way put the head of the bolt on the coil spring side of the bracket which provided the clearance needed to avoid it rubbing on the coil spring. If you do it this way be sure not to forget to drop the vertical bolt into the bracket that goes thru the new hole you drilled before you put the track bar into the bracket. Once the track bar is into the bracket you cannot put that vertical bolt into the bracket without removing the track bar again. All of the holes lined up really well for me and there was only slight difficulty getting one of the nuts up into the axle mount. I ended up having to use a perfectly flat wrench to slide the nut up into the tube. My wrench with the slight bend in the neck wouldn't allow me to get the correct angle to get the bolt started thru the tube.It was totally worth the effort to install. The bracket centered the rear axle almost perfectly. I was amazed at how much of a difference it made in the handling of the Jeep. It removed the brake dive and eliminated some of the flightiness in the steering. And it seems to have completely removed the ABS ESP issues I was having when I went around curves. Only time will tell if the bracket is as durable as it feels. But, so far I would give it a solid 4 stars. I would feel better about it if it would have also had a U-bolt for a little extra strength like the Teraflex bracket. But, the price was just too good to pass up.

Work just as it should. A very good snug fit. I opted out of drilling the hole it suggests into the factory mounting bracket. So if it fails because of that itll be on me and not Rough Contry. However even without drilling the hole it is still super secure because of the other 3 bolts that hold it on. Highly recommend for a budget boost lift.

This fixes the defective factory installation.

Reasonably priced and serves its purpose

Perfect fit and quick install when adding lift. Also nice to know that if wifey wants to go up from 2.5in I can use this same bracket for 4in and 6in.
