ARB Adjustable track bars

[LukeSkywalker43]

Evening guys/gals,

Our Rubicon is ready for a Mopar lift, but im holding off on install until i get in a set of adjustable track bars front/rear. Found these from ARB online, and they seem to come in at well under what everyone else is charging. The Rubi is my wifes and to be honest wont get much crazy offroad use, maybe a fireroad here and there or some easier rock crawling. I dont feel the need to grab the most heavy duty bad ass track bars available, but wanted to hear you opinons on these before i purchase them. Please let me know, thanks!

Don’t know anything about these track bars, but I do know, with suspension parts, you definitely get what you pay for……and there’s a reason why you don’t see these all over the forum…..just saying…

Roky is dead on with, "you get what you pay for," but ARB is typically a pretty reputable brand. Usually they are one of the more expensive options for other components and I used to hear good things about Old Man Emu suspensions (manufactured by ARB) when I had a JK all the time.

I think their lack of popularity is because better options exist, and not because these are bad. At the surface level I see nothing wrong with these and the price is low, but I would do some digging to see if something happened with ARB or at least their suspensions for them to fall out of popularity.

My guess is that most people who upgrade, do so with the idea they want the upgrade to be as durable as possible, rather than, "good enough."

Thanks for the replies! Keep ‘em coming.
In the Toyota world, ome has had a solid reputation and is recommended a lot. Their BP-51 series did ok, but I’ve always had luck with arb parts although none of what i have is suspension. They do have excellent customer service.
I agree with you that there are just better and more popular options available.

I just don’t trust a product that doesn’t give a detailed description. RK, MC, Clayton, Yeti, etc….all give very detailed information about the bar and the joints…. The arb is very generic in their description……..MC track bar is 189.00, I’d much rather have that on my wife’s rig for 20.00 more, even if you don’t like gold and had to paint it……

I'm not sure what the opinion here is of JKS, but I have their front adjustable trackbar and fixed lower control arms (also for the front) and have been happy with them so far

Rancho is another affordable option you can take a look. I personally had one and it held up great. It can be had for less than $200.
