Excellent product made from high‑quality steel that works exactly as advertised. Artec’s customer service was outstanding as well. After placing my order, I called with some concerns, thinking I might have ordered the wrong bracket. Connor took the time to patiently explain that the bracket was correct and would work perfectly with my setup. Great product and great support.
I installed an Ultimate Dana 44 but oddly its raised TB mount isnt raised enough for the 3 change caused by a drag link flip. Both the TB and the Drag Link need to be parallel to prevent bump steer. The Artec JK Heavy Duty Raised Trackbar Braket was the solution. It raised my mount the 3 to match.
I recently installed this raised track bar bracket when I did a drag ling flip kit on my Jeep. This comes in 3 pieces and at first I was confused about the 3rd small piece. I called ARTEC and they told me it was for the driver side sway bar end link. I had no idea that I was going to raise my sway bar end links in this process. Turned out to be great for me as I got an extra 2 inches of flex out of this. The bracket has holes for the track bar steering stabalizer and the sway bar end link. Super thick and well made. Easy to weld in. I love it.
Wanted to run a high steer and this bracket was the perfect solution in keeping my geometry correct. Fit perfectly welded in great LOVE IT Definitely not a part that I need to be concerned about on the trail.
Order this for my new trackbar and Im super happy with it. The fit and finish was amazing and its super beefy. Another amazing Artec product
Fit perfectly no problems at all. very happy with track bar mount. very happy with how these components improve the handling and drivability of my JKU .. Thank You Keep up what your doing ..
A — Staff (Artec Team): the raised trackbar bracket will work for you if you have a draglink flip or an extension bracket on your existing trackbar mount . if you have neither of those i would recommend our stock replacement trackbar bracket .
A — Staff (Artec Team): Yes this bracket will work on both the d44 and d30 axles
A — Staff (Artec Team): This bracket can be used with or with out the truss .
A — Staff (Artec Team): The JK4406 Raised trackbar bracket works with the first generation of our truss's or standalone without a truss . The Apex Raised bracket JK4452 will work with our Current Generation Apex Truss's or stand alone without a truss .
A — Staff (Artec Team): refer to this image http://www.artecindustries.com/assets/images/truss/JK/tracbar-sway.jpg , it will show you where to locate the bracket and key it off of the coil bucket
A — Staff (Artec Team): we have not tested this with RHD Jeeps so we can not verify fitment
A — Staff (Artec Team): This is designed to work with the factory axle and keys off of our JK Front Truss, but you can make it work with a little bit of trimming on that axle.
A — Staff (Artec Team): The main reason to select the raised trackbar bracket over the factory height bracket is a Draglink Flip. Just lifting the Jeep is not a reason to use the raised mount, but if you flip the draglink then you must raise the trackbar to keep steering geometry in the same plane.
A — Staff (Artec Team): No, you should have an adjustable trackbar with this size of lift.
A — Staff (Artec Team): The factory bracket needs to be removed for this to work. Also, the raised version is to be used for Jeeps with a Draglink Flip to correct steering geometry. If you are not running a Draglink Flip, then select the factory height bracket.
