Price: $150.00
Pros: Allows for a lot of flex, while still being able to use stock mounting points, and its adjustable.
Cons: Came loose after a while, had to buy a $20 drill bit
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Works great for me, I actually got this track bar in a $100 lift kit I bought locally.

It was definitely a ***** getting the old bar out the lower bolt was spinning the sleeve inside of the old bearing. I had to sneak my sawzall in there and cut it.

Had to make a run to ace to get a 5/8 drill bit (I believe, can't remember), which I found was still tight, so I reamed it out a bit.

The upper bolt came loose after about 50 miles and I had to re tighten it, could have been my mistake. I haven't thought about it lately, but it would have been nice to have a lock washer handy instead of the nylon lock nut.

you'll also need some sizable crescent wrenches to adjust the thing.

works great though other than those small problems. helps me flex out like a mofo.

Comments: Great construction, easy to adjust between my 2 inch and 3.5 inch lift.

Tightened up my steering, and allows more droop.

Comments: Upper mount comes loose and moves around..clunk, clunk. Waiting for the bolt to snap one of these days. Hope I'm not running down the interstate at that time.

Comments: Easy install, but barely fits w/ 4.5" lift. Good solid feel to the suspension. Only bought this to replace the stock one that didn't align with the axle bracket after I welded it back on.

Rubicon Express RE1600 Adjustable Track Bar
Pros: adjustable, keeps stock mount (less $$$)
Cons: heim joint, single shear
Recommended? No

Comments: It worked really well for a while, then i began to notice a clunk, it wasnt because it wasnt tight, it was that the heim joint wallowed out the frame mount hole. If on a budget go for it, other wise go for a double shear trac bar

Price: $120.00
Pros: Easy installation, strong
Cons: n/a
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I just installed this over the weekend, and was the easiest part of the installation. I needed to drill out the previous whole in order to get the bolt at the fish eye to fit through, but that was the only change to the original set up. With this track bar you DO NOT need to offset the track bar on the bottom bracket. VERY easy installation.

Rubicon Express RE1600 Adjustable Track Bar
Price: $120.00
Pros: Very stout and adjustable.
Cons: none
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Install of this trackbar was a breeze. The mount DID need to be drilled out, but that was stated in the directions and went easily with the correct drill bit. The trackbar is easily adjustable and does its job. Add $25 to the cost for the drill bit needed at a local Ace Hardware, you will be glad you did.

Rubicon Express RE1600 Adjustable Track Bar
Pros: Lightweight, strong, promotes good flexability
Cons: If you dont have a drill press or a drill with a 1/2" chuck, youre in for a long day when you try to install this.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Drilling that darn hole took way longer than it should have. If I did it over I would pull the upper mount bracket out of the XJ and drill that way. Dont make more work for yourself like I did. Make sure you have a 1/2" chuck drill. Other than that, I wish it was black. Yeah, paint is cheap but its just another step.

Rubicon Express RE1600 Adjustable Track Bar
Price: $130.00
Pros: Stronger than stock, adjustable, affordable, easy installation
Cons: n/a
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I just recentely installed this track bar on my TJ. The installation was really simple and didn't take too long to install. The only extra thing you will have to do is drill out the hole mounted to the frame to accomodate for the new hardware for the track bar.

Adjusting the track bar is easy and my axle is now centered under my Jeep.

Have a good one,
Justin
