JKS Manufacturing Heavy-Duty Rear Axle Track Bar Brace

Jeep Wrangler 07-17 3.8L/3.6L

Part #: JKSOGS169

Overview

The JKS Manufacturing Heavy-Duty Rear Track Bar Brace is a robust reinforcement solution designed to strengthen the rear axle track bar mount on select Jeep models. Specifically engineered for Jeep Wrangler JKs from 2007 to 2018 and Jeep Grand Cherokees from 2005 to 2010, this brace addresses a common weak point in the factory suspension system. It is ideal for Jeep owners who demand enhanced durability, especially those who have installed lift kits, larger tires, or frequently engage in challenging off-road driving.

By welding directly to the axle housing and original equipment track bar mount, this brace provides a permanent, rock-solid upgrade that prevents mount failures and maintains proper rear axle alignment under extreme conditions. Its skid plate-style bottom design also helps your Jeep glide smoothly over rocks and obstacles without snagging, making it an essential component for serious off-road enthusiasts.

Key Features

Engineered for maximum strength and reliability, the JKS Heavy-Duty Rear Track Bar Brace offers the following key features:

• Welds directly to the OE track bar mount and axle housing at multiple points for superior reinforcement
• Constructed from heavy-duty steel to prevent catastrophic failure of factory mounts
• Precision cut and CNC formed from premium grade steel for exact fitment and durability
• Smooth, snag-free skid plate bottom design to slide easily over rocks and obstacles
• Bare metal finish ready for custom paint or powder coating
• Designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler JK models (2007–2018) and Jeep Grand Cherokee (2005–2010)
• Does not fit right-hand drive vehicles

Construction & Design

This rear track bar brace is crafted from premium grade steel, precision cut and CNC formed to ensure a perfect fit and long-lasting durability. The heavy-duty bracket is engineered to weld directly to both the axle housing and the OE track bar mount, creating a reinforced structure that significantly reduces the risk of mount failure under extreme off-road stress.

The smooth bottom skid plate design not only protects the track bar mount but also helps your Jeep slide over obstacles without catching or damaging the brace. The bare metal finish is ideal for professional welding and allows you to apply your preferred paint or powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and style.

Installation & Fitment

Installation requires welding the brace directly to the axle housing and OE track bar mount at multiple points, providing a permanent and extremely strong reinforcement. This product is intended for experienced installers or professional shops equipped for welding. It fits a wide range of Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 through 2018—including Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, Sport S, Unlimited, and special anniversary editions—as well as Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010.

Please note this brace does not fit right-hand drive vehicles. Proper fitment verification is recommended before installation to ensure compatibility.
