Rock Krawler "Bomb proof track bar"

Jeepster197 · 08-27-2010, 02:50 PM

I'm looking into getting one of these, because i've bent a few others, and want to replace with something ultra sturdy, but i noticed that i'd have to use a drop pitman arm. Now i've been down this road along time ago with a DPA and dropped track bracket, and the reason i got ride of was my steering was very loose, and wondered. This could have been from the stock track bar with a drop bracket. Can anybody chime in on this system, and let me know if their steering stayed factory tight or does it loosen up by using the DPA with the drop bracket for the track bar, any help in this would be great thx.

I've had mine for 2 years, very tight and no wondering. I use a zj trackbar.

Also does anybody run this setup with an Antirock, is it possible or will the bracket on the frame side get in the way?

I've got the bomb proof front track bar without the bracket and don't run a drop pitman arm. I've got a heim joint in it that has a 3/4" hole that I put misalignment spacers in to run a 5/8" bolt. The hole in the frame was drilled out to a 3/4" hole too and I have some Ballistic Fabrication reducer spacers in it to get the hole to the right size.

This was all done to fix a screw up by a company that installed it a few years ago but it works great now and I don't have any problems with it and a much stronger bolt in it than it was originally designed to have.

Edit: I also have an AR too.

I run their bracket and trackbar with no DPA and dont have a complaint. Ive got a buddy with the same set up, hes also running an anti rock on his as well with no problems. He has a Waggy 44 in the front of his though to.

I ran my RK TB for years with 0 issues after I bent one RE track bar and broke another one.

You run the RK track bar, w/ bracket, but no DPA, do you get any bump steer or wondering issues?

I run the antirock with mine, no issues.

I run the RK trac-bar with a drop pitman arm and it works great. The PO put the DPA on without doing anything to the trac-bar and it has bumpsteer bad when I got it, the RK trac-bar fixed that.
