Got my new adjustable rear trackbar today. Same principle as the panhard on the Mustangs.

Going to install it tonight and adjust a few other things plus check over everything I touched while tearing apart the Transfer case just to make sure it's still all good.

That Jeep is looking awesome Jeff.
With all the mods and repairs you have made I'll bet the ride is night and day compared to when you got it.

Blew a steering tire on a semi. Of course it took out the hood (which is now off) and the radiatior (which is now out).

Thanks!

Its getting there. Even though Rough Country suspension is kind of looked down upon on the Wrangler forums, it really doesn't ride that bad. Even Jen said that it doesn't ride bad. Lol.

I got the new trackbar on and adjusted the pinion angle again. Hopefully the vibrations are gone.

I had a full Rough Country suspension on my TJ. I thought it rode fine. 4" lift on 35's. Not a Cadillac, but then again I didn't buy a Cadillac in the first place.

It rode fine in the one we took it off of too, just wasn't installed right. I thought it was a softer ride than stock a little, which to me seems better for the jeep.

I don't think it rides any worse than either of my Mustangs.

I think it's a decent setup.

I still have a vibration though. So annoying.
