Rough Country Rear Trackbar Bracket (Wrangler TJ)

This is a Rough Country trackbar bracket that's designed to restore the correct angle of your trackbar. I've lifted my 2005 Wrangler 2.5 inches, but was still running the stock rear trackbar - what this did was compress the rear suspension, and pull my axle slightly to one side.

This is a simple and effective solution to that. It goes on fairly easily (read my install here) and is dirt cheap. It's not as good as replacing the trackbar with an adjustable one, but it is a fraction of the price.

I have this on my 98 GC Laredo. It is only a temp fix for a real track bar replacement. When turning and going over a pavement transition i can feel the back end shift over the axel. Turns out the bracket cannot hold the torsion from high loads. Also it had to be moved ever so slightly as it ran into my exhaust. Still recommend getting an adjustable on from kevinsoffroad.com.
 
I bought the rough country rear adjustable track bar and bracket. Wouldn't recommend it at all. The track bar joint is too big for the bracket. Why do you think its so cheap???????

Give me a call 1-800-222-7023 ask for Dustin @ ext 110. This is not a problem that I have heard of but I will definitely get it taken care of for you. We stand behind all of our products and offer lifetime warranty.
 

If calling is like your customer service I'm not going to bother. I also bought the rear adjustable track bar and its useless. The Heim spacers won't even fit. I can only put one spacer on my Heim rod end and put the bolt on. I peeled off the rough country sticker on my jeep. Done using anything related to the company.
 
I don't know anything about their support, but Dustin's a good guy - I've talked to him on the phone 2 or 3 times. Give him a call and see if he can help.

That seems like decent customer service to me.. You're on a jeep forum providing customer service! I've been looking into getting the 4" lift for my YJ with tax money. =] would you recommend it? The offroad shop I went to said he wouldn't offer your company in the past and now he says it's great and installs a bunch.

After reading this I noticed that I too have a slight lean. Im not sure if its due to the lift or not, and im also not 100% sure of how much of a lift it is. Im gonna give this little doo hickey a shot, and see if it helps. Thanks for the insight. Im still learning about jeeps, and I love it when information is provided like this.
 
Guess I should have read that its only for the TJ....any suggestions for the YJ, besides an adjustable trackbar, which is way more than I can afford at the moment?
 
I swear Rough Country is mentally challenged. I just ordered ADJUSTABLE lower control arms from rough country. They sent me the non adjustable style they won't even make anymore. So they charged me 100 for a set when days prior another employee was going to charge me 50 for a set. I'm from up North, I don't bang my sister and passed the third grade. Better yet I have a bachelors degree and all my teeth. ROUGH COUNTRY SUCKS their the biggest let down besides Obama.

I apologize for the mix up on the arms. If you will give me a call I will get you fixed up 1-800-222-7023.
 
Reading a few posts and ran across this one.. Not really sure what you stand behind on your lifetime warranty.. or even your 60 day satisfaction guarentee.. I have a couple concerns of my own and becoming very displeased through the whole bit. Do not want to bash the company, but I hope it gets resolved.
