I think I am confused. I thought the zigzag bar was the track bar that runs
diagonally from one of the frame rails to the axle.
Do you have a link to the thing you are talking about? I would like to look
it up.

Re: extended rear brake hose options?
Holy Jankity Kicks, Batman! They've finally built the Unholy Grail of
Jeep suspensions! I've seen shackles that pivot to extend downward but this
is ridiculous! Could you imagine some whackadoo slapping together a 4"
lift, sprung-over, and this... SLINKY... of a suspension??? Hey Mike.
Could that "All glass nose to tail" CJ of yours "bury the speedo in fifth"
with this thing on a logging trail? Who's Da Man now?!
The "ZZzzzzz"?!? What the FFfffff? You'd think they would've come up
with a better marketing ploy like the "Un-Locker" or maybe the "Limited Crap
Comin' Apart at the Seams" Suspension :)
P.S. Oh, hey. No offense to anybody to who's runnin' this gear. Okay?
It's cool. All good...
