Please note. There has been some confusion about where this trac bar mounts. It is
for the
front axle only on Jeep® YJ Wrangler vehicles. Do not even think about install-
ing this on a XJ Cherokee, TJ Wrangler or on the rear of a YJ.
1. Remove O.E. FRONT trac bar from vehicle, including mounting hardware and “U” bracket from
the drivers side of the frame. Also, remove and discard any aftermarket riser bracket (that had been
installed with aftermarket suspension lift kit) from the axle end.
2. With a 1/2” bit in a power drill, enlarge the hole on the front axle to 1/2”. (It is metric size from
the factory).
3. Install the 1.85” x 1” Dia. Spacer Tube (marked with “X”) into the frame bracket where the stock
trac bar originally mounted. This Spacer Tube will keep the bracket from collapsing.
4. Sandwich Heim Joints between both shoulder spacers. The thick (.3125”) spacers go on the
frame end. Mount the “telescoping” (booted) end of the trac bar to the axle with the 1/2” x 3” bolt.
Loosen the 9/16” pinch bolt on the Slip-Loc™ Trac Bar to slide the frame end of the bar toward the
frame. (DO NOT adjust the Heim Joints for this purpose. Leave full thread contact between the Heim
Joints and bar.) Mount the solid end of the bar
BEHIND the O.E. bracket with the 1/2” x 4-1/2” bolt.
Tighten both 1/2” bolts to 85 LB. FT. torque. Tighten the jam nuts for the Heim Joints with a 1-1/8”
wrench by hand. Do not over tighten these jam nuts. Note: If you get a slight amount of interference
between the frame bracket and the Trac Bar, grind clearance on the frame bracket until the Heim Joint
and jam nut clears it.
5. With the vehicle on flat level ground, tighten the pinch bolt using a box end wrench. DO NOT
USE A 1/2” RATCHET/SOCKET ON THIS PINCH BOLT! Hand tighten only.
This Slip-Loc™ Trac Bar comes pre-lubed. It doesn’t require greasing at this time. Grease it with
scheduled vehicle maintenance. One pump should do it. Don’t over lube it.
