2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler

Part #: 18305.28

Overview

The Rugged Ridge Adjustable Rear Track Bar with Relocation Bracket is engineered specifically for 2007 to 2018 Jeep Wrangler models to correct rear axle alignment issues caused by suspension lifts ranging from 2 to 5.5 inches. When lifting your Jeep, the rear differential often shifts out of its optimal position, leading to poor handling, uneven tire wear, and compromised off-road performance. This adjustable track bar restores proper rear differential tracking, ensuring your Jeep maintains precise handling and stability both on and off the trail.

Designed for Jeep enthusiasts who demand reliable performance and durability, this track bar is an essential upgrade for lifted Wranglers. It provides a direct replacement solution that works seamlessly with factory mounting points and includes a relocation bracket for the most comprehensive fitment and alignment correction.

Key Features

Built to deliver superior control and durability, the Rugged Ridge Adjustable Rear Track Bar offers the following key features:

• Adjustable length design to precisely re-center the rear axle after suspension lifts from 2 to 5.5 inches
• Includes a relocation bracket to optimize mounting position and improve suspension geometry
• Constructed from high-strength 1.25-inch DOM steel tubing for maximum rigidity and strength
• Durable urethane bushings provide excellent off-road deflection and reduce unwanted movement

• Designed specifically for Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 through 2018

Construction & Design

The Rugged Ridge Adjustable Rear Track Bar is crafted from 1.25-inch DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing, a material known for its superior strength and consistent wall thickness. This ensures the track bar can withstand the stresses of off-road driving and heavy-duty use without bending or flexing. The urethane bushings are engineered to absorb vibrations and impacts while maintaining precise axle positioning, which is critical for maintaining proper suspension geometry on lifted vehicles.

The semi-gloss black powder coat finish not only provides a sleek appearance but also offers excellent resistance to rust, corrosion, and abrasion, extending the life of the track bar in harsh environments. The included relocation bracket is precision-engineered to reposition the track bar mounting point, correcting the rear axle’s angle and improving overall vehicle handling.

Installation typically requires basic hand tools and mechanical knowledge, making it accessible for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional installers. Proper adjustment of the track bar length is necessary to ensure the rear axle is centered under the vehicle for optimal performance.
