Clayton Off Road

Front Adjustable Track Bar, TJ,XJ,MJ,ZJ 4+

Vendor fitment: 1997-2006 TJ Wrangler. Steering with 4 inch lift-height data from the vendor source. Confirm final options and fitment on the vendor page before purchase.

Adjustable Trackbar; Front; Heavy duty replacement for OE panhard rod; Variable length; Attaches axle housing to chassis rail; DOM Steel tube construction; 1.25 in. Diameter; 0.25 in. Thick; Powdercoated; Zinc plated; Bolt-on; Each The trackbar controls lateral movement of the axle housing. It is attached to the chassis and axle on opposite sides of the vehicle with flexible mounting points to accommodate suspension travel. Unfortunately, the fixed length of the OE trackbar won't accommodate ride height adjustments. Changing the distance between mounting points forces the axle housing out of alignment with the rest of the vehicle. Unless corrected, this condition will place unnecessary.

Question

What lift height is this for?

Suspension lift height

This is a 2.5-3 inch lift-height family. Verify the exact engine, drive side, spring-capacity variant, and loaded vehicle weight before quoting because those choices can change final stance.

Fitment and build notes

Vendor catalog record promoted for browsing. Final fitment, install dependencies, and shopper selection still require review before checkout.

For a lift, the last check is the complete Jeep setup: exact year/model/trim, doors, engine, lift variant, target tire size, wheel width and offset/backspacing, bump stops, flare/fender clearance, gearing, spare support, added bumper/cargo weight, and whether a shop is installing it.
