Essential Vehicle Stability
Enhance your Jeep Wrangler TJ or LJ’s handling, stability, and axle alignment with the Cruise Series Rear Track Bar. Designed for 1997-2006 models, this track bar ensures your rear axle remains properly centered, reducing instability, body roll, and rear-end wandering on- and off-road. It’s a must-have upgrade for lifted vehicles, particularly those dealing with steering drift or axle misalignment.
What’s Included in the Kit?
- Cruise Series Rear Track Bar (CRS-J-TJLJ-RTB1)
Key Features and Benefits
- Superior Axle Centering – Eliminates rear-end wandering and ensures proper alignment for improved handling and stability.
- Heavy-Duty Construction – Built from 1.5" OD .313" wall heavy-duty steel tubing, reinforced with high-quality polyurethane bushings for durability and smooth operation.
- Recommended Pairing – For complete rear suspension control and precise pinion angle adjustment, pair with our Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set (CRS-J-TJLJ-RS4).
Perfect Fit for Lifted Jeeps
When lifting your TJ or LJ, the axle shifts laterally, impacting alignment and suspension geometry. Our adjustable rear track bar corrects this issue, re-centering the axle for better drivability, reduced tire wear, and improved suspension function.
- For 0 to 3-inch lifts, this track bar is a direct bolt-in upgrade.
- For 3+ inch lifts, or vehicles with an SYE, a corrected axle mount is required due to the steeper pinion angle rotation and clearance issues between the bar and the factory mount.
Two-Stage Powder Coating
To ensure maximum durability and corrosion resistance, all track bars undergo a two-stage powder coating process: Zinc primer base coat for superior rust protection. Durable top coat, available in 10 color options, allowing customization to match your Jeep’s look.
Made in the USA
Proudly manufactured in Orem, UT, our Cruise Series components are built with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship, supporting American-made manufacturing standards.
Optional Hardware Upgrade
Designed for easy installation using factory hardware, but for those dealing with rusted or seized bolts, we offer optional Grade 8 hardware kits, available separately for a hassle-free install.
In Conclusion
Upgrading to the Cruise Series Rear Track Bar provides improved handling, axle alignment, and enhanced control for lifted Jeep Wrangler TJ and LJ models. Whether you're battling rear-end wandering, axle misalignment, or off-road instability, this track bar keeps your Jeep planted and performing at its best.
For complete rear suspension tuning, pair it with our Cruise Series Rear Control Arm Set (CRS-J-TJLJ-RS4) and experience a fully optimized ride.
