Looking to upgrade track bar, tie rod, drag link and if possible relocate a new stabilizer. Searched through some other threads. Can’t find anything related to what works with stock height. Like to keep it all same brand if possible. Any info would be helpful.

Steersmarts has everything you're looking for
That’s really the only setup that I’ve kind of thought will work out of them all based on information from manufacturers sites. Think it’s Possible to relocate a pass thru stabilizer with this set up?

I'm pretty sure I was able to get the falcon stabilizer to work with steersmarts parts before I lifted our jeep.

You can but you’ll have to use a stabilizer that comes with its own clamp. Like Fox for JK…or if you use a different clamp then you’ll have to source a flat head bolt with the same threads as whatever clamp you get…for example.. I had to use a synergy clamp so I had to get a new shorter flat head bolt for it to work……

one more thing, some aftermarket ss relocation brackets recommend 2” of bump stop or lift….. so you may need to rotate it some to get it to clear….

Nice! Maybe I’ll chat with steer smarts today.

So with a jk stabilizer I can just get the short bolt. And I won’t need the relocation mount from steer smarts? Just use the jk fox mount it comes with?

Yes, if you get the Fox for JK it will bolt to your new tie rod…like this…you won’t need to get new bolt, only if you change tie rod clamps…..you’ll only need the axle side relo bracket from Yeti….

just be sure you get the right diameter clamp when you order it.. the factory is 1-5/8”, I think Yeti is the same, but not a 100%, please verify…..

Yea sorry I wasn’t referring to the clamp. I meant The axle side yeti relo bracket. Thanks for verifying. Appreciate the info!

Yeah, no worries, the Fox for JK does come with the track bar bolt, so you wouldn’t need to get anything extra, but some people have had clearance issues with them….

dont forget to add a sector shaft brace. that was probably my favorite and most noticeable change to my steering. I did steer smarts, thicker steel, better welds and better bearing same price as the synergy brace
