FYI if you do go RC. They're new n2.0 shocks are coming out very soon (as in maybe next week) and are supposedly much better than the 2.2s. It may be good to wait.

After breaking my 5th tracbar end and this was the one sold with the "HD" mount I finally had had it. I called up Rusty's and lit the customer service person up. Come to find out the tracbar I had originally bought with my Rusty's 4.5" lift wasn't happy with my, now, 6" lift and Rough Country X-flex Control Arms. Also when I bought my HD pieces when I looked on their website you have a choice of 11/16, 3/4 and 22mm thicknesses of the adjustable end. Well since my original tracbar took an 11/16 that is what I ordered. The customer service rep told me, based on the broken pieces I was asked to send them, that my tracbar was too short and too thin for my application. I said your website is very confusing, and now that I have bought a tracbar, 5 adjustable ends and an HD mount from you, you're telling me I need to buy a whole new tracbar from you???? Very loud upset tone. The Rep said just a moment. She must have went and discussed my situation with Rusty because they shipped me one of their newer beefier longer and thicker 22mm tracbars free of charge. It took me 5 years of buying Rusty's stuff to finally get a good deal out of them. I still have my original Rusty's leafs and coils after 5 years if misuse and abuse. That is one thing from Rusty's I will say are money, their springs. I will let you all know how the beefier tracbar works when I get it on my Jeep and Walker Valley test it.
