WJ Over the Axle (OTA) Track Bar System

The best, and last, track bar you’ll ever buy for your WJ.

Carefully engineered to provide a zero bump steer, superior handling setup that perfectly matches either of our WJ OTK steering kits for the absolute best in clearance, strength, handling, and longevity. Replaces your track bar and moves your axle bracket location up over 3″ to level out your front end steering and handling geometry.

What’s included:

• HD Adjustable track bar made of 1.5″ OD 0.250 Wall Carbon Steel Tube
• Axle side relocation bracket made of 1/4″ steel (comes bare and requires welding)
• Massive 9/16″ Grade 8 fine thread mounting hardware for both ends (drilling required at frame end)
• Standard powder coated track bar (choose bare in options for discount)

Why choose our OTA track bar and bracket:

• Works with lifts from 3″ to well over 10″
• The only solution that makes your Jeep handle better, not worse, by raising roll center. No more wobble or lean!
• 1.5″ high tensile Carbon Steel tube makes this the strongest track bar, period. And lighter than 1.25″ solid steel to boot.
• Genuine Currie Johnny Joint at axle end for legendary strength, longevity, and up to 40 degrees misalignment.
• Trail Forged’s Better Bushing™ at body end
  • Supreme flex
  • No service required
  • Smooth, quiet ride
  • Self-centering keeps them oriented the right way
• Helps eliminate death wobble and loose steering by upgrading to massive 9/16″ Grade 8 hardware.
• Perfect geometry when paired with our OTK steering kits (heim or TRE) for zero bump steer and far less axle walk (left-right movement).
• Provides perfect mounting location for steering stabilizer utilizing generic tabs or re-purposing the factory stabilizer bracket by cutting and relocating.

Bracket Height

• 3-6.5″ Bracket
  • Cancels bump steer best between these lift heights. Still FAR better than stock above 7″ of lift, but not as optimized.
  • If you have a 6.5″ lift but a very heavy rig (bumpers, armor, winch, lots of gear) and don’t plan to go higher, choose this option
• 6.5″+
  • If you have a 6.5″ lift but a very light rig, or may go higher, choose this option
  • Cancels bump steer best on really tall lifts. May not clear frame rail at full compression with 3-4″ lifts.
• If you are lower than 7″ now but plan to move up in the near future, you can select the taller bracket. Bump steer will be much improved over other setups, just not as zeroed out as it will be once lifted taller.

We have such confidence in the strength and durability we warranty the track bar against bending or breaking… for LIFE. 

Notes:

• Ships within a week of ordering if in stock, otherwise powder coating may add up to 2 to 3 weeks.
• This kit does require either our WJ HD steering kit or One Ton TRE kit for proper clearance and no bump steer. Some other tie rod flip kits may work, but we cannot guarantee clearance.
• The 7″+ bracket does move the swaybar link mount up on the passenger side only. Most adjustable links or quick disconnects have enough adjustability to accommodate a longer driver side link length. In some cases, though, this may require modification of your sway bar link setup.
• Low lifts (3″) should be running a 2″ or more bump stop extension. Notching the pinch seam under the frame slightly can also be done to make room for full uptravel.
• The axle track bar bracket is NOT designed to handle the additional forces of a hydraulic assist ram. If you plan to run hydro assist, we suggest adding additional bracing or gusset for strength.
