How many of you that are running leaf springs are running a track bar on the front. I got rid of the one in the back years ago and I'm trying to figure if I should or need to run one in the front. I do plan on running sway bar disconnects on the front for road use. Just looking for a little input and maybe pictures of your setup.

I attempted a track bar in the front for a bit and kept breaking the mount (mostly due to an improper setup). I was orginally freaked at the thought of not running it but it really didn't feel scary. I have no issue running on the street with no track bar and no sway bar once i had the hi-steer. I'll have to let you take mine for a spin sometime.

yeah we should have done that a long time ago. After talking to you and rob I'm just going to fab up my sway bar and take the track bar off. I'm running high steer arms with a inverted T set up for the steering hardware. EMS hooked me up with some tips on what they have had the best luck with.

mines stock
lost the front one last week
no change in drivability including beating integras and civics around a traffic circle.
O, the front goes over bumps smoother.

Yeah I miss those days of being able to bark the tires in all gears while pulling on all the little rice burners.

Yeah if I knew this I would have tossed the front one years ago.

Yeah something about driving over a jeep never turns out good.

BTW the swap is done and the jeep drives like a dream. Steering and ride hasn't felt that good in years. Stock springs kinda suck but will do for at least the next couple of months.
