need the best trackbar!!

I have a drop bracket that came with my lift kit that has given me really bad death wobble. if I hit any bumps going faster than 35 it sets it off. so what would be the best trackbar to take care of this and who has faster shipping.

do you think this might get rid of it?

I have about 5" of lift, controll arms, new stabilizer, new tires & wheels, and an alignment less than a month ago.

Are you looking for a front or rear trackbar?

JKS is the best you can get for either. Kevin's Offroad trackbar conversion is the best front trackbar setup out there.

a JKS bar will solve your problem, but yes eliminating the tie rod upper mount is the best way to go, like kevins. dont go with rustys, i saw one tear loose on a dude on MC.

so this one is the one your using? and I see why you would want to go away with the ball joint style frame mount.

kor is the best out there. what i'll be switching to here soon. this rubicon express one is driving me batty.

if their double shear bracket weren't so weak i'd use it.

also considered making this one i already have into a horizontal double shear set up.

The bar did not break, it was the Heim joint that snapped. There are people out there breaking Rockwells. Put enough pressure on anything it it will eventually give up the ghost. I swapped the JKS out for the Rustys due to the beef it had.

I think I'll be getting the KOR eventually though.

There is poor design, and then there is pushing a good design too far

i wasnt talking about the bar. i was talking about the upper mount.
you must be talking about something else, because the thread i saw wasnt about the heim joint it was about Rustys upper trac bar mount.
