xmeatbagx Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 My truck has around 3 inches of lift (I think) and the front end leans to the drivers side. The coil springs on both sides are fine and I don't see anything wrong in the back of the truck. The lean is more in the front than the rear. The track bar is stock, could that be why it leans? If I get an adjustable one do I have to know my lift height exactly? What's a good brand? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onlyinajeep726 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Get rid of the stock one... that's why the axle is pushed over. Buy an adjustable one. Rubicon Express 1660 Extreme is a good one for light to moderate wheeling. Iron Rock Offroad makes a good one too. Ironman4x4 if you want to go bomb-proof and pricey. Stay away from Rough Country trac-bars. I'd recommend double shear trac-bars over a stock style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeroNautical Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yeah, at 3 inches your pushing what the stock track bar can handle. Most adjustable track bars have a pretty wide range of lifts it can accommodate. Good brands include Rubicon express, Rustys off road, iron rock off road, JKS to name a few. I've had a bad experience with Rough Country track bars, don't even bother. Edit: Shawn beat me to it.. too quick for me man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmeatbagx Posted October 15, 2014 Author Share Posted October 15, 2014 Does it matter if the truck is my DD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee21490 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Does it matter if the truck is my DD? Even more reason to get a new track bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Driver Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Any double shears for no lift that you guys would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean front axle centering between the wheel wells? If so, have you measured the offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Good brands include Rubicon express, Rustys off road, iron rock off road, JKS to name a few. I've had a bad experience with Rough Country track bars, don't even bother. I can't recommend Rusty's. I put one on my '88 MJ and the upper end (which fortunately is replaceable) only lasted a year. A friend from NAXJA had worse luck -- the threaded bung that the upper TRE screws into pulled out of the tube. Just like with Rough Country ... "don't even bother."

mvusse Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 I agree on the Rusty's and Rough Country. Pure junk for both of them. The only things that Rusty's has that are any good are their coil springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmeatbagx Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Hornbrod, it looks like the drivers side is being pulled toward the ground making the body look like it's leaning. Just the body though not the axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the body though not the axle. Ah okay, so you actually did mean the body is leaning. I did about the same lift and there was no leaning, just front axle shift about 3/4" to the left. A Teraflex adjustable trackbar took care of centering the axle. Have you checked the caster angle on both sides since the lift? I had to shim those out also to get it back in the ballpark.

dasbulliwagen Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Mine leans too, and I have an adjustable trac bar. It leans to the driver side. All I could think of is that the track bar is pulling that side down, but depending on when I think about it, it either does or doesnt make sense. I noticed it after swapping to 4x4. It is a high milage truck and the springs seem OK, but you never know. I figure Ill try to adjust it on my next round of mods with some extra isolators or something, but who knows when that will happen. Another way to adjust it would be adjustable coil springs spacers ACOS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
