The JK APEX Raised Tracbar Bracket is a heavy-duty replacement front track bar mount for lifted Jeep Wrangler JK builds, cut and bent from 1/4" mild steel. It raises the track bar mounting point to correct roll-center geometry on Jeeps with 2.0" of lift or more, and integrates with Artec's newer APEX front axle truss (or a non-trussed axle) to replace the vulnerable factory Dana 30 or Dana 44 bracket.
Key Features
- Formed from 1/4" mild steel and CNC precision cut and bent for accurate fitment
- Raises the track bar mount to adjust roll center approximately 3" higher for greater stability on lifted rigs
- Replaces the factory front Dana 30 or Dana 44 track bar bracket on 2.0"+ lifts
- Lifts the factory sway bar mount 1.75"
- Allows the steering damper to be rotated to the top side of the tie rod for added clearance
- Integrates with the newer Artec APEX Truss for JK (late 2019 onward)
Fitment & Compatibility
Fits the Jeep Wrangler JK and JKU (2007-2018), front Dana 30 (Sport/Sahara) or Dana 44 (Rubicon) axle, with 2.0" of lift or higher. Designed for use with the Artec APEX Truss or a non-trussed axle only; it does NOT fit 1st-generation Artec trusses made prior to November 2019. Running roughly stock height? Use the JK APEX Stock Tracbar Bracket instead. Pairs naturally with the JK APEX Front Axle Truss.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much lift do I need for the raised bracket?
It is intended for Jeeps with 2.0" of lift or more. On lower or stock-height rigs, the stock-height version is the better choice.
What does raising the track bar mount do?
It adjusts the roll center roughly 3" higher, which helps restore suspension geometry and stability after adding lift.
Will it work with my 1st-gen Artec truss?
No. It is designed for the newer APEX Truss (late 2019+) or a non-trussed axle only, not 1st-generation trusses made before November 2019.
Does it fit the Dana 30 and Dana 44?
Yes, it replaces the factory front track bar bracket on JK/JKU Dana 30 (Sport/Sahara) and Dana 44 (Rubicon) axles.
Is welding required?
Yes. This is a weld-on bracket that replaces the factory unit and should be installed by someone experienced welding to an axle housing.
