a tj version. <<

Avalanche Engineering just installed a Full Traction kit on a std TJ. It's
one of the stoutest kits I've ever seen. Very intensive installation,
however, but Avalanche said it really performs well.

yes and no. if you already have the proper angle set on another jeep to
measure from, i think you could build arms that measured the same with no
adjustability required so long as you dont change your lift height.

yes, the full traction kit in that picture is installed on rubicons for the
highway.

......shoulda checked with me first. :-)

seriously though, the track bar is the only thing i really hate about a tj.
as you raise or lower your jeep the axle is forced to shift left or right.
triangulating eliminates this and provides the same amount of flex.
