YETI XD™ JK Frame Side Track bar Reinforcement Bracket

I installed on 2020 Gladiator JT. Note: Early on I installed Steer Smart Track Bar, Drag Link, Track Bar; then Rear Track bar, and later the Sway Bar links. After a Year's delay by Dealer, I also had the "Roaming" steering box replaced. Lately, I've had more roaming with the replacement steering box, somewhere in the 55K mile range. Then installed Bilstein's B8 8100 , non-adjustable shocks. Installing this Bracket has absolutely improved the "Roaming". And it feels even more solid in the heavy winds we've had.

I needed to update my initial review of this bracket to advise that there are serious clearance issues I am running into installing this on my 2011 Sahara JKU with a 2” Mopar Lift Dana 35 stock front axle. The bracket is very heavy duty and well made, all the mounting holes line up but the bracket runs into the spring and hit the axle on articulation, so unfortunately it won’t work properly on my Jeep. The bracket is an excellent idea, but be forewarned that it can cause clearance issues.

This front JK Track Bar Bracket is massive. There is absolutely no doubt it is strong and well built. If everything lines up and fits as designed I would say it’s a home run. I will update this review if I run into any issues but right now, it is a 5 star!

The bracket is sturdy and very well made. However, it causes the loudest creaking in the world due to the fitment with the bracket and body welds. There is almost a quarter inch of misalignment, which alters the track bar hole alignment, which causes incredibly loud creaking. I have adjusted the mount half a dozen times. Following the directions verbatim. My only option would be to drill out the protruding remainder of the track bar hole on the JK side … thus severely weakening it. I want to like it, but with the poor fitment and horrible creaking I am not happy. About to toss it to the curb.

The bracket is solid and well built (welds are awesome). Install required some effort if the coils are on the vehicle. Recommend you do the install with the coils extended as possible or off the vehicle. Additionally, the tolerances are very tight so now my coil rubs against the bracket under compression. At extension it is fine. Thus I get a "clunk" when the Jeep flexes anymore than an inch (hitting a dip, etc.).
