BDS Rear Trackbar Bracket for Jeep Wrangler JK |
Why a drop bracket and what’s it do?
Whenever you lift a Jeep that has a track bar the track bar angle will increase causing the axle to shift to on side as the track bar axle mount moves away from the frame. Several problems can arise from this change. The first problem with the axle shift is that the upper control arm and rear sway bar get very close to the driver side tire, so close that at full suspension droop the tires hit both. Second, the rear axle shift causes the axle to rotate slightly causing the Jeep to rear steer. Third, harsh bumps, as the angle of the bar increases bumps are transferred to the frame instead of the suspension taking it. This causes the rear of the Jeep to feel like it’s being shoved to the right whenever you hit a bump.
A drop track bar bracket will return the track bar to the original angle, assumingly restoring the proper geometry. Since the Jeep has a 2.5” lift a bracket with a 2.5” drop will be perfect.
This bracket will fit both the 2-Door and 4-Door JK’s w/ 2-3” of lift.
