Replace stock track bar on 2004 TJ with adjustable?

I highly recommend that you stay with the stock trac bar...The stock trac bars will last as long or longer than any aftermarket one...especially if you are staying stock...

Since I replaced my trac bar almost 2 yrs ago I've had nothing but problems...First I went w/ the Skyjacker one you are looking at and the lower bushing woudn't last a week or two and in btween getting a new bushing in I would have a wick'd death wobble...I think I went through 4 bushings and death wobbles constantly to the point where the bracket holding the trac bar to the axle broke loose and almost killed me...I then replaced it with a RockKrawler one and I have blown the lower bushing out once but atleast it lasted six months before it went... I've even contemplated going back to a stock trac bar...

Jeff - Good to know. Appreciate the post. I drive this Wrangler everyday - I got 30,000 miles out of the stock track bar with no issues, then a moderate wobble for the last 20,000 miles. Not a death wobble, just not steady enough. I find myself avoiding manhole cover divots and the like. I may have to rethink this and go stock.

Right on Doug...I also replaced the one in my '95 ZJ with a Rockkrawler one and have replaced the lower bushing already once in a year... I think stock is ur best option...
