Are the Rubicon and Sport track bars the same length even though the Rubicon axles are wider and the springs are longer? I'm looking at aftermarket track bars and I don't see different versions for Rubicon vs Sport.

The operating length is the same, the additional width on the rubicon axles is outside the spring perches, everything between the spring perches is roughly the same. Our track bars fit both, I'd assume that other companies do as well.

Any idea what the difference is between the Rubicon and Sport S track bars?

I'm installing rubicon suspension on my sport, and it came with a track bar. The part number is different between the sport and the rubicon.

Can you compare the two track bar lengths? Seems like the Rubicon is about 1.5" higher than the Sport from the factory from what I have read. If this is correct, and track bar axle mounting points are the same, I would expect the Rubicon track bar to be slightly longer.

I haven't yet, but I plan to.

If that's the case, and if I have it...I may as well install it.

I'll report back what I find.

Disregard.

They are the same part numbers. I read the wrong number.

Same length, same part number, on my sport and my rubicon track bar.

That's interesting... Since the sport and the rubicon have a difference in lift, does it mean that one of them (or both?) don't have their axles aligned?

They also have different axles. I wonder if the track bar brackets are different?

What I find intetesting is that the mopar 2” lift does not include longer track bars or relocation brackets.

Are longer track bars only needed for lifts greater than 2”?

What part number do you have for the track bar? And on what date is the document that it is on?
