So I have the Clayton 3.5" Overland Plus lift and love it! I'm just looking to fine tune the steering and some aspects of the overall ride... I currently have a RLD canopy (170lbs) on. Will relocating the rear trackbar help with the slight body roll (speed bumps, whoops, etc) I have? Not talking about Sway... don't really have that.

For anyone that has done these brackets, what's your experience/feedback? Real benefits? brand?

Thanks!

I'm interested in this as well. I've replaced the front track bar but not the rear, my rear axle is about 3/8" off. This doesn't bother me very much but I've been looking into a rear track bar and it looks like a lot of people run an adjustable bar with a relocation bracket. I've researched a quite a bit and more people talk about the relocation bracket with the rear track bar than with the front track bar.

To keep your steering behaving, your front track bar should be parallel with the steering arm which is why you don't see a relocation bracket for the front.

In the rear, the goal is to re-center the axle after a lift so either relocate and use the oem one or get an adjustable length one.

What shocks are you running? If you're getting a little bit of body roll it's most likely due to the excess weight from the camper, and some stiffer shocks would definitely help out with that!

I have the Fox 2.0 Shocks... pretty pleased with them as everday driving is soft and comfortable. Been contemplating on switching to Falcon 3.3. adjustables. Suprisingly, the other week, I loaded down the truck with camping gear and even had over 100 lbs of wood on a cargo tray on my hitch. Rode even better and smoother than not having any weight in the back (still smooth). The triple rated springs did a remarkable job, simply WOWed! Keep sharing the good word with everyone I know that overlands...

Nice! The Falcon 3.3's were what I was going to suggest, and what a lot of the guys running our kit with the Overland builds are actually using, its a nice combo for a heavily loaded build!
