Iron Rock Off Road Double shear track bar

This is my review since i couldn't find any real info on it with pics. UPDATE ON PAGE 2

Well after finding this track bar on Iron Rock's website i decided to make a jump and buy one so i ordered this on Thursday and FedEx tried to deliver that Saturday customer service was great. the one issue that i had was with FedEx they requested someone 21 to sign for it and im only 19 but iron Rock tried to fix this issue but FedEx wouldn't compromise so i need to go with an old roommate since he could sign for it with me present WTF but other than that great transaction and people to deal with.

But from what i can tell about the track bar it very well made and the bushing are not flex joints but just normal bushing that if need replacing can be available at any auto parts store.
Here's a link to it http://www.ironrockoffroad.com/Merch...egory_Code=PFX

My review:
Heavy Duty construction
Easy to install
Works great in Moab

The IronRock shop is not far from my house. Josh and the guys are very knowledgeable and helpful. They manufacture most of their own parts.

My boss has it, he is happy with it. I like my TREKS bar better with the super-flex joint at the frame end, but I don't know that it makes a lot of a difference. If I hadn't gotten my TREKS bar and bracket for a song, I would have probably gotten the IRO setup.

Since the axle is fixed by the control arms, it just moves up and down. The joints on either end just need to allow for up and down movement of the axle. The IronRock style of upper mounting is referred to as double shear bracket because the bracket secures both sides of the pivot and the bolt only holds it in place. This style is better than a tie-rod end or Heim Joint style track bar where the mounting bolt pinches the pivoting joint to the stock track bar bracket (single shear mounting). Tie Rod ends are not designed for this type of use and flexing the suspension can exceed the range of travel and damage the Tie Rod end.

Heim Joint

This is a really good design for a trackbar. Its also a pretty good price. I think if I ever upgrade, or go higher, I will pick one of these up.

Looking forward to the review

The TREKS bar has a super flex / johnny joint. I would not run a Heim or a TRE for the track bar on a lifted jeep.

Isn't the rustys hd track bar and bracket exactly the same design? Plus you can get theirs with a bracket brace for 220 ish

you could always get a johnny joint for this bar just need to know diameter thread pitch and required length.

That is assuming it fit in the bracket, as well.

that is very true im sure somewhere there is a producer of one but i like the low maintenance bushing. Im broke and in college less money to keep moving the better.
