Changing tire size has exactly 0 impact on track bar angle/ride height. Or maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to say
Correction - I made a mistake. You are right. Thank you for pointing that out :) :thumbsup: I meant to refer to the "lift spacers."

I think someone did post a similar "situation" as well where the Relo Bracket brought the track bar "higher up and past" level (or let's say 0 degrees, at horizontal). The forces involved are not changed. Remember that the end goal of the Relo Bracket is to get it AT OR AS CLOSE TO level as possible, regardless of it being "higher" or "lower" than completely horizontal. The position you do have it at in the photo is better than what it was at stock height, where it was at a lot more aggressive angle. (also see post #59 on this thread if you have not come across it yet - I get into the mechanics of it in more detail. https://www.bronco6g.com/forum/threads/rear-tracbar-relocation-bracket-get-one.104993/post-2398111)

So, to answer your concern - that is perfectly fine. And as you add, say "Lift Spacers," that should level out more. As I have mentioned earlier, it is still advisable to get an adjustable track bar, so you can have a proper alignment shop dial it in perfectly and adjust the length of the bar :thumbsup:. Hope that helps bro!

Oh and what exhaust do you have on? Looks very nice!!!! Do you get cabin-drone?
Thanks for the response. The exhaust is actually the Fast Intentions 2.7 axel back. I really like it, no drone and not obnoxious but sounds great under throttle

Nice! I'm considering purchasing one in the future and have done some research on that axle back as well. If I get one I will definitely be posting a thread on it as well and giving the community some feedback and my take on it :thumbsup:

I’m two days into driving with the RockJock relocation bracket installed and am shocked at the positive difference it makes in settling the rear end over bumps. I’ve got the Eibach 2.0’s height maxed on a non-Sasquatch for reference.

This thread helps explain a lot of what I'm feeling in the rear of my stock suspension. I'm familiar with the issue because S197 mustangs suffer from the opposite effect upon lowering. My WT has the trailer package with the Hoss 3.0 and it sits higher out back than any Bronco I've seen, except obvious lifted trucks. My track bar at ride height is at least a 3° downward angle. I have a set of AccuTune modified Fox shocks on the way and I can see the compressed length of these shocks are slightly more than 1" over the compressed shock length Rock Jock calls for. How much lift I get out of these is an unknown. While it's stated her the Fabtech lifts the bar 3", does anyone have an actual measurement of the amount of lift the Rock Jock bracket actually provides (distance between original and revised bolt hole centers)? I'm leaning toward Fabtech, but encountering metal to metal contact is not my idea of a bump stop. If the Rock Jock lifts at least 2", I should be okay with Fabtech. It certainly looks like it does from the photos, but I'd rather know for sure.

The RJ is just about 2" on the money, maybe a hair more.

On mine it is also about 2 inches but - until you get your FOX shocks installed and adjust your ride height to what you want it to be - then you will be able to gauge if the Fabtech is the right one or if the RockJock is. Fabtech site specifically states - "For use with 3" or 4" lift systems only." So make sure it is 3 inches of lift, or more.

I don't meet the min. 18" compressed shock length in the rear for the RJ bracket but have the 2" difference from left to right on the bar. Would it be worth putting it on? Trying to think what I would damage by hitting the frame.

May depend on if it hits hard because of a high speed jump landing or just sets down on it during max articulation while crawling. Theoretically mine would hit also but if it has hit I didn’t notice and I have had it fully flexed out. I don’t jump it and probably won’t ever. I’m running the Eibach 2.0’s with the standard soft springs.

I'm running the Eibachs as well and have been fully flexed at slow speed w/o contact issue. I would definitely recommend the relocation bracket, made a huge difference in rear bump steer for me.

Interesting. Came here to scout these sort of comments. I have the Eibach 2.0s on mine and had ordered then returned my RJ bracket for fear of it smacking frame at some point. I don't jump my Bronco and any off-roading is pretty casual trail use but I was concerned of any highspeed driving and hitting the wrong pot hole, etc and having it cause some sort of ripple affect that could become problematic. I know I could use one. I'm about to install a rear sway bar on it to help some of the lateral movement I notice driving. It has some slight shiftiness at times. Maybe will reassess after sway bar added.

Funny, I purchased the RJ bracket from a forum member and had the same concerns about contacting the frame so I sold it to another member. Six months later I ended up buying another RJ bracket and take a chance on contacting the frame. My adjustable track bar is now almost perfectly level...No contact issues whatsoever slow speed and the improvement in bump steer was impressive IMO.

It's going to depend on how you lifted your rear end. If you added a spacer lift, you can add the actual thickness of the spacer to your compressed shock length. If it's a spring replacement or spring perch type lift, your original compressed length doesn't change and you can still contact the frame. It will just take more downward force or energy to bottom out the shock.
