Hey Nathan, got a question for you!
 

Sorry, but I can't seem to find your email addy anywhere, and didn't know if
you checked the one on your website often...

That trackbar you sent me -- do you remember the make/model? How much lift
was it made for? I'm guessing 3"+ (since I can't get it short enough to fit
the XJ). If so, I'll keep it for the TJ (which will be going to 4.5" next
year) and order a smaller one for the XJ. Thanks!!

Eric

hi eric,
that adjustable trackbar should fit any tj from stock up to at least 6" of
lift. i really dont think it would fit any xj.

All of the ones I've seen advertised are usually TJ/XJ/ZJ compatible. No
differences between them.

wow....learn something new every day. if it makes a difference, the bar was
part of a 4" lift, but my understanding was that it was the same bar from 0"
on up.

Re: Hey Nathan, got a question for you!
 

I'll talk to superlift and see what they say. I've seen some that are 0 -
6" of lift, and a number of them that specify increments -- 0-3", 3.5-5",
5"+, etc. It just depends on the maker as to what they say the range is.

at 4" of lift, there is only 3/4" difference in the length of the trackbar
over stock. i cant imagine 3/4" requiring a different bar, especially
considering the length of the adjustable end.

Re: Hey Nathan, got a question for you!
 

It seems like this bar is one of two things:

1. Built for a MINIMUM of 4" of lift
or
2. Flawed.

The end just doesn't go in enough. When attached, my steering wheel goes 90
degrees to one side and the axle shifts another inch + over to the
passengers side (meaning it's too long).

Just the tiny bit that the stock bar is off (I don't even think it's 1/2"..
maybe 1/4") is enough to cause DW. I've read on NAXJA that on some XJs, not
all, this is all it takes to have perma-death wobble. It's nuts. I talked
to someone on base that put on a 4.5" lift on their 01 XJ and didn't have a
single problem. Didn't even need a new driveshaft (I've heard some say
that's needed at 3").

Hmm.. good point. I guess I'd have to hack the adjustable end. What would
I use?
