I have a 3'' lift on my 2000 XJ, and about a month after i had been driving it the bolt that holds the track bar to the axle side wollowed out the hole and backed off the nut... I then realized that i needed a relocation bracket or an adjusteable track bar, and being a little short on money at the time i choose the relocation bracket (axle side )... However, I'm not satisfied with it and want to run an adjustable bar now....
so my question is can i leave the relocation bracket and add the adjustable track bar, or do i have to remove the relocation bracket.... Thanks.

Also if you want more people to look at, and answer your question, its best to start your own thread here: https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f2/

mine became a storage vessel for the time being. Threw a transmission in the back, some other BS parts in the back seat and then pushed it behind my friends shop in the weeds with a forklift. Might part it out. Might put a new engine in it. Might just forget about it - dunno.
glad to have a car to drive again- currently getting almost 30mpg out of a 2.8 straight 6.

took her swimming, got the water out of the engine, checked the oil everything was good. Didn't think about getting water in the tranny fluid. so it boiled out of the dipstick carrying some tranny fluid with it and onto the exhaust.
someone told me my jeep was on fire at an intersection so i pulled over and trew sand at it untill it went out. Then did an "emergency" tranny fluid change after the fire department showed up and laughed at me.
currently looking for deals on a sub amp, cb, i podsand cell phone to replace the items that didn't appreciate being washed.

Went wheeling over the weekend and was playing in the rocks, heard a loud pop from the front axle, and now I have no power to the front wheels. Made it very difficult to get out of there with just 2 wheel drive.

I'll finish off floor pan,, and paint while I'm down there, I'll post pics when I return.

sold it to a co-worker for 250 bucks, giving him the title for it tomorrow.
kinda sad to see it go but I will get another one, they are a dime a dozen around here.
normally my vehicles go to the junk yard when I get rid of them. This one stood up to my abuse and neglect well- can't knock the jeep for that. they are good trucks.

When I started my Jeep today, my gauges were not working. I turned it off, then on again, same problem. So I turned it off, and pushed all my fuses to make sure none were loose, turns out that one was, and that was the problem. I wish all problems were this easy to fix.
