someone did tell me about getting the geometry correction brackets said put those on and I don't even have to do an alignment and it will correct it and helped a lot. Didn't the lift kit come with drop-down brackets to help with the control arms or something?so would you do the adjustable track bar first or the geometry correction brackets I can only do one thing at a time money's tight right now with christmas and my daughter in college now. I was looking at the control arms and I did see the rough country I don't care what anybody says I have no problem with their stuff all the lights have been good and their warranty is better than anybody's and they answer their phones late at night till 8.they're good people up in tennessee.some people think if you spend the most and the most expensive one you get the best not always true there are such thing as people and companies not wanting to take advantage and rip you off. Some people it's all in the name on some of that stuff. I'll just give example on ice chest not one company gives you a bumper sticker to put in your window with an ice chest but yeti. And they proven all those other ice chest half the price ice last longer or just as good or long then yeti. I tell people they're buying a $300 bumper sticker and $100 ice chest.it's all name if someone had a coleman or igloo sticker in the window it would mean nothingi. But if someone has a yeti sticker in the window they want you to know they spent a lot of money why else would they give you a sticker LOL anyway I was looking at the rough country adjustable track bar for $199so should I do the geometry correction brackets first or the track bar probably close to the same price

What is more of an issue with your jeep: flighty steering or the pull?

If it is flighty steering, I'd go brackets first.

If it is the pull, I'd go track bar.

One benefit of going brackets first is only one alignment. If you put the adjustable track bar one first you may need to do it twice. Sometimes things shift a bit.

Often Northridge has some discount code going on where you can save a bit. I think I got the track bar for $130 something and the Rubicon Express brackets for $110.

if I'm holding the steering its not like I'm holding it tight cuz it's pulling real tight to the right. If I let go of the steering wheel it takes off to the right pretty quick. It like it changes lanes real fast if I let go.one person said I wouldn't have to do an alignment with the brackets but you're right I have to do 2 alignments with the track bar and control arms. It drove so straight when I had them nitto ridge grapplers 37 1250. Then when I did the 1350 it started doing this. It's just water tire and outside the groves. Just like somebody told me do .1 or point one toe degree out and then another guy told me no that would make it do more of a chance of death wobble you want in so I get different opinion from everyone. Rubicon express how much is their track bar how much are there brackets? because rough country is 199 for the track bar adjustable and 99 on the brackets. It Rubicon express is pretty close to price then probably go with them. Is that true I probably wouldn't have to do alignment with the brackets

Many people have reported a right pull with the Ridge Grapplers.

I would not but the Rough Country geometry brackets as they do not have multiple settings like other brands and use cam bolts.

What I would buy:

Rough Country Track Bar $149.99

Rubicon Express Geometry Brackets $124.99:

With the discount code you can get both for $254 total. Less than many brands change for the track bar alone.

Because it pulls to the right or what if I let go of the steering wheel it takes off to the right and the lineman spot on but I can't and the linema watch on the toe because I don't have just one track bar and lower control arms. What would you get first the adjustable control arms or the adjustable track bar ? Can't get both right now which one would you get first to stop the pull and the wandering to the right

Track Bar

do you think if I could do it would itit better to get the control arms over the brackets

It is personal preference. I prefer the brackets over arms. Some prefer arms over brackets. If you do rock crawling, I'd say go arms. If not, I'd go brackets.

The bracket says it's a correction bracket and I was told you don't even have to do an alignment so it doesn't really let you go more outside the specs on the alignment it sounds like. The arms would let me go outside the specs and do a lot more of a lineman I was told. Maybe I'll just do the track bar first and do the alignment later. I know I will have to do the alignment twice but I got to do what I got to do financially right now college is expensive and my daughter's a freshman. I will look at the Rubicon express adjustable track bar thank you so much and I will keep you posted. If I have any other questions I will send you a p.m. thank you again

The track bar I was talking about is the Rough Country track bar. Quality and fair price.

Geometry brackets usually have three settings. You pick the one for your lift height. If you use the longer arms that come with the Mopar kit plus the second hole on the brackets it puts you around 6.8° which is over spec and rides well.

The mopar kit doesn't come with any brackets. It comes with: springs, shocks, swaybar links, longer front lower control arms, spring perches, and bump stops.

Our springs don't bow.............

@TeraFlex I just had Rebel Off Road put on a CT2 lift on my JL, and my springs are evidently bowing, and you guys evidently had to send new spring perches to fix it, which I'll have to go back and have installed.... I have yet to see the jeep, kind of bummed to hear this.

in the springs on the Mopar lift are horrible their weak and they bow. you have to put isolators on the bottom some people springs were so bad on the Mopar lift it was hitting the bump spot

 

[Jammer]

I'm changing my lower control arms out to longer ones

I actually couldn't be happier with the Mopar springs. They ride phenomenal.

The spring perches help at a bit to correct bowing but I think a lot of the issue is due to not including an adjustable track bar.

I installed a track bar with my kit and the springs are straight.
