Artec JK4426 Heavy Duty Rear Trackbar Bracket Weld-On 3"+ Lift 2007-2018 JK

Vehicle Fitment

• 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JK Unlimited (Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, 2-Door and 4-Door, 4WD) with 3" or more of lift - usable with 2" lift minimum if clearances are verified

Fitment Notes

• NOT bolt-on - weld-on installation only; this bracket must be welded to the rear axle; welding by a competent fabricator is required
• Includes several raised trackbar mounting holes for different lift heights - some trial and error may be needed to find the optimal hole position for your specific lift and suspension setup
• Some grinding and minor fitment adjustment may be required due to variation between individual axles
• Designed for use on the JK factory rear Dana 44 axle; replaces the OEM rear trackbar bracket
• Sold individually (single bracket)
• Ships as bare steel - priming and painting required after welding to prevent corrosion

Features

• Replaces the factory JK rear trackbar bracket with a heavy-duty 1/4" steel alternative built to withstand serious trail abuse
• Multiple raised trackbar mounting holes correct roll center geometry for lifted JK applications, improving straight-line tracking and handling stability
• Raises the roll center higher than the factory bracket, reducing body roll and improving overall suspension geometry at lift heights of 3" and above
• Improves ground clearance over the factory bracket due to its revised mounting profile
• CNC laser-cut and CNC-bent from 1/4" steel using 3D scan files for precise fitment to JK rear axle geometry
• Made in the USA

Product Description

The Artec Industries JK4426 is a heavy-duty replacement rear trackbar bracket for the 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU. The factory JK rear trackbar bracket is undersized for lifted builds and positions the trackbar mounting point too low for proper roll center geometry, resulting in handling instability and increased body roll. The JK4426 solves this by providing multiple raised mounting hole positions, allowing the trackbar to be repositioned to match the vehicle's lift height and restore proper suspension geometry.

CNC laser-cut and bent from 1/4" steel using 3D scan data, this bracket fits the JK rear Dana 44 axle precisely and improves ground clearance over the factory bracket. Installation is permanent and weld-on - not bolt-on - and requires a competent welder. Some trial and error between hole positions is expected to optimize ride quality and handling for your specific lift and link configuration. A minimum of 2" lift is needed, with 3" or more recommended for best results. Ships bare steel; prime and paint after installation. Sold individually.
