Why You Need a Jeep Wrangler JK Track Bar
A track bar on a Jeep offers numerous benefits, but the most impactful one is that it improves the way your truck handles. Whether you need to make a wide turn in traffic or climb around a rock during a bout of off-roading, track bars are helpful. While a track bar on a Jeep may sound far-fetched if you’re not hitting the track, it's clear that they help with off-roading or highway driving, especially if you have a lift kit that's greater than three inches.
In fact, you'll want to consider an aftermarket upgrade to reinforced options if you go any higher than 2.5 inches, otherwise, factory-style designs won't be able to keep up with demand. Other benefits of track bars include less body roll, which is a big problem with Jeeps, regardless of the ride height. Track bars on Jeeps also ensure that all your suspension components maintain proper alignment, which preserves the life of your suspension.
Choosing the Right 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Track Bars
When it's time to choose a Jeep Wrangler front track bar, or even a rear one, there are many factors to consider, starting with the construction of the bar. Look for high-quality track bars from brands like Mammoth and Rough Country. These brands offer track bars that are made with forged steel, so you don't have to worry about the track bar being more of a liability than an improvement. Premium track bars also come with reliable rubber bushings that won't crack after your first winter or off-road session.
Once you know how to spot the difference between a reliable Jeep Wrangler front track bar and a poorly made, flimsy track bar, it's time to shop based on your specific needs. The most important factor to consider is your Jeep’s ride height. If you have a lift kit installed, you'll need to choose bars that are made for your current ride height. Most brands have ranges available, so this shouldn't be too challenging.
