What is the stock JLU front trackbar length (center-of-eye to center-of-eye)? I'm figuring/hoping someone has a take-off sitting around. I would measure my own, but my jeep is still being built.
I picked up some new Rancho HD adjustables local for cheap from someone who ended up getting a complete kit that had them included and didn't need them anymore, but I'm finding mixed info about the front. They are "officially" listed as being for 2"-4.5" lift, but when I asked Rancho direct they said they are listed on the gladiator as being for 1.5", but they couldn't answer if they were actually adjustable to 0". I found a couple reviews by customers stating they were adjustable even lower ("close to stock length") than 2" lift. The front one measures~37.5" ~33.5"center to center at the shortest length.
I plan to install new brackets in the front (to support a 3" lift) to allow maximum adjustability to not only center the axle but also maintain proper angle, but having done my research (that I should have done before I bought these, but it was an impulse because they were so cheap) I'm afraid that they might end up being too long at their shortest when also using the bracket.
Long explanation for a simple "can you measure for me" request, lol.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: The Rancho front does not measure 37.5", it measures around 33.5" at it's shortest setting. Apparently my wife in her effort to "clean up my mess" put the rear bar back into the front bar's box.
