PEAK PUTTERS

My track bar tie rod is shot. Instead of getting another crappy tiny tie rod that will last 6 months or so I've been looking at upgrades. I also want to upgrade to stronger steering.

Option 1 - double sheer track bars like Iron Rock Off-road ($210 shipped) and 1 ton steering kit JCR sells. ($340)

Option 2 - Froehlich Suspension Technology is a company in Yakima. The hiem high-steering steering sells for 325. Track bar and over the axle weld-on track bar mount.


Any input recommendations? I drive my jeep on the road a lot and wheel a little bit. Mainly out at juniper. Hopefully next year I'll do some more wheeling around Dayton

Track bar or tie rod? Or both? As far as the tie rod goes,

A tie rod from a V8 powered ZJ (Grand Cherokee) was a direct swap for my TJ. It is much thicker and stronger than my old little skinny stock tie rod. I think I paid $100 for the rod, ends and adjuster.

Should be the same for an XJ, I would think.

It's a rough county adjustable track bar with a tie rod on the unibody side

The IRO double sheer dealio and the aforementioned ZJ V8 steering would be the ticket.

Is fabbing your own track bar to use hiems not a option?

I have little to no fabbing skills and even less time. Police academy until mid-March so weekends only.

The JCR kit is actually on sale now for 269 so if they still have some on the 15th I think I will get it just to he done with it.

If you need a hand putting it on I can offer my garage and hands
