Does anyone know of a raised front trackbar bracket for a JT. I’d like to do a draglink flip on it.

If you order the Yeti XD drag link flip kit by Steer Smarts, don't forget to order the TOP mount drag link as opposed to the bottom mounted one. I made that mistake and it will likely cost me in shipping fees.

I’ll make sure not to do that. Thanks for the warning!

I'd use some caution on a drag link flip, JL's and JT's do not play by the same rules as a JK did and top mounting a drag link can create some real limits to uptravel. We don't recommend high steer for anything less than 4.5" because the gain is not worth the sacrifice in performance.

If you're going to notch the frame, disregard all of that and go for high steer.

I’ll be running 4.5” skyjacker springs with a 1” spacer and 4” Bumpstop with your XFactor arms and rear cradle. I’ll be switching to your 5” springs once released. I’ll be running king 2.5s. I had your 3.5” springs on my JL with a 3/4” spacer and no draglink flip. The shocks I have require 4” of bumps but that’s ok because I will keep my full rubicon fenders and 40s for the street and 38s for wheeling. Should I consider a flip if running 4” bumps? I think I’ll have room without a frame notch running This setup? I’m nervous on noticing the thinner frame at this point.

thanks for your amazing products and price point along with your support.

These are not for highsteer, these are to run a factory, non-adjustable, track bar on a lifted application.
I saw those and knew by looking that wasn’t what I needed. Thanks for that info. I might just use the synergy weld bracket from the JK and modify it. I’d rather have a welded bracket that I can run a ram off of anyways.

At ~5.5", yes it makes sense to go high steer as you'll probably have enough down travel to wreck the drag link when in the factory position.

30” shocks. If I want To fender trim I’ll get shorter shocks and 3” bumps. Can you run a DL flip on 3” bumps? OK that was my thought too. I hear the Skyjacker springs need the 1” spacer to ride level. Now get those 5” springs coming I need a set
Thanks again

I guess I better stop helping out and let people find their own stuff from now on!

Was not meant as an insult and I hope you didn't take it that way. 2 of the brackets that had been linked were not correct for the application, just didn't want OP to buy something that wasn't what he wanted/needed.

at 30" of shock, I would stay under the knuckle with a good, aftermarket, drag link.
