Front Trackbar Choices...
I'm am upgrading the front trackbar on my '03 TJ. There is currently a heim joint design installed and I want to ditch that in favor of a sealed joint.
I think I have it narrowed down to either the Currie HD unit or the Clayton HD unit. Both utilize a Johnny Joint at the frame, but each one orients the joint 90* differently. Can anyone lend me some personal experience with either unit? I already have the frame mount drilled out to 5/8" so am ready to bolt in the Currie, but also already have a new drop pitman arm hiding in the garage that could match the lowered Clayton unit. Thoughts? Have I missed a better option out there? |

I ran the Currie unit on my TJ and was very happy with it. It was well-built and I never had any issues with wear or sloppiness of the joints (just like the rest of their lift).

I run the JKS track bar. In all honesty, I don't recall what motvated my purchsase of the JKS at the time, but it has seemed to perform well and I have no regrets at this time. That said, in my short experience/Jeep back ground, Currie products seem to be a notch above most everything else, most of the time, and I'm inclined to hedge my vote to Currie...

Thanks guys.
I'll be waiting until after the holidays to pick one up, but I think it will be the Currie. |
