So i was wondering........ I always hear of people movingthe trackbar attachment point on the back of a lifted TJ. What about the front?
Since we're on the topic of track bars, what do you guys recommend for adjustable track bars?

quadratec.com sells one for the front, i don't know if it works on the rear. BTW, when i lifted my yj, i didn't think about the track bars, and th rear one just snapped off the mount on the axle. i just removed the trackbar altogether in the rear, and i havn't noticed any problems except some really great articulation in the rear axle WHEE!
I have a ORGS on my 99WJ that seems to do well, its beefy.

You can get away without a track bar with leaf springs because the shape of the leafs provides considerable resistance to lateral movement. The coil springs in the TJ provide flexibility and ride quality, but no resistance to lateral movement. You can't drive a TJ without track bars.
ahhhhh, ok, didn't know that. thanks

Keep an eye on your shackle bushings, though. If you don't have track bars, all your lateral forces will have to absorbed by your shackles and spring hangers. This could, in extreme cases, bend shackles or prematurely wear out the bushings. Track bars absorb quite a bit of these forces.
