upgrading tj trac bar

[tjrider]

Sounds like you got some bad ball joints somewhere down the line. I'd do the track bar and check all your joints before switching boxes. Bad joints will amplify death wobble too. Along with your bars not aligned

The Clayton products I have are very nice. I don't know if I would have gone with that track bar again. The Drop bracket on the frame side contacts the tie rod and the Trackbar contacts the the diff cover at Full bump. That is with 4" springs about 4" up travel. The Clayton track bar with out the drop bracket might have a little better clearance. I think the Currie one would be better for 4" lift it is offset to the front to clear the cover .

well the box is bad anyways, ive just got around to swapping it out, it leaks like a mother and has a ton of play before i get any kind of pickup. i already have the99 durango box sittin gin my truck and its an upgrade anyways, so i plan on putting it in and doin the track bar at the same time, the ball joints are about a year old.

death wobble use to come all the time since i installed the lift. but i also used the axle side drop bracket for the tack bar. i had someone wiggle the wheel and thats where the play came from, so i got the welder out and welded that solid, and the death wobble went away. it comes back once in every blue moon but is barely noticeable. so i figured it was the frame side of the track bar that was wore out. so its times to upgrade to a HD track bar anyways.

hopefully the steering will be a ton better with a solid track bar and the new box.
