Needing to properly position my axles following the EVO LA/CO install, I had originally purchased track bars from another company, however they did not fit the brackets on my JL. I was able to send them back for a refund less restocking fee, although the manufacturer admitted knowledge of the issue... WTF? Honestly, I'm tired of dealing with them and swallowed the minor, yet BS, restocking fee. My time emailing and telephoning just wasn't worth it anymore... F-them. I was able to purchase the EVO MFG Track Bars for less than the ones that I sent back. The only reason that I didn't originally buy the EVO TB's is because they hadn't been released yet.

BOOM!

The EVO MFG JL Track Bars exceeded my expectations. Fit and finish are excellent. Compared to stock, these suckers are heavy. In the end, I'm very happy that the track bars I originally purchased didn't work out.

Put mine on today as well. Very happy with them. All my axles are centered and it fixed some steering shakes.

Awesome upgrade :thumb:

Most definitely. I'll tell you what... my JK had a different brand of lift that I was pretty satisfied with, but when my EVO JL control arms arrived I was shocked at the difference in heft and quality of build. Made me regret not going EVO on the JK. These track bars, same thing. Talk about heavy duty. I think people would be better suited to skip the Bowflex, and just start training with EVO products. Maybe EVO MFG CrossFit?

Nice :thumb:

Thanks! Pretty happy with the way everything is coming together.

Wow those are beasts. At least I found which ones I’m going to use now.

They've got some beef, that's for sure. What lifts are you looking at?
It’s already on. I had the mopar kit installed. I was going to just install some synergy springs but when they screwed up the Jeep deal for the granite crystal, they offered several scenarios to help the situation. I chose the crazy cheap, easy route since I had 37’s put on any way. We will see how the springs are. I added a few pics the dealer sent me. I pick it up tomorrow. I’ll need some things to complete it. Like these track bars you have. I’m not at all mad they offered it. It’s getting tougher on my body installing this crap all these years. The Fox’s are nice but nothing like your Kings.
