When you mentioned RE track bar with brace...is that the track bar then also the RE tack bar brace that is sold separate? Assuming I will need the drop bracket as well for this track bar?

The brace is sold separate as far as I know. It mounts to the RE bracket. I bought a parts jeep and took these off of it so not 100% sure on that. I do have an sye in mine and have custom front and rear driveshafts, but you should be able to use zj driveshafts. You’ll have to google and see what year and all had the longest, but a lot of people run those. I know it’s $27 for a driveshaft st my local yard.

Would you happen to be able to post photo of what brace looks like? I have googled it and it shows a brace of some kind but wasn't sure if that was it.

No, I don't lick fish.
Okay great, thanks for the claification and I don't mean to sound dumb by asking those dumb questions but I would much rather understand now instead of buying something only to be stuck with it and not work and waste my money.
I mean I don't know most cases the only dumb question is the one that you don't ask.....Thanks for your help!

We're glad you're here asking questions and gaining sound advice rather than lifting your jeep with blocks and bubble gum and then coming and asking why it's broke and rides like crap

I agree 100%, I know my way around a fee suspension lifts to include my 2005 F350 and then my buddies Tacoma. His was a 6" lift and we learned a few lessons with that setup. Both were RC kits but with this Jeep I plan to piece it together with quality parts. Seems like the kits go the affordable route which in turn cheaps out on some parts that should be considered vital. So I will take my time learn from you guys and piece it together piece by piece until I feel satisfied.
