RockJock track rod bracket full suspension compression requirement

[Tricky Mike]

as an alternative you could try the OME bracket

It mounts differently so no compressed length restriction from what I have found.

I doubt it will work. I looked it over and it's the track bar end that is going to make contact. The solution is either dropping the frame side bracket, or a spacer on top of your coils to increase the effective compressed length. I'm leaning spacer so 37s don't stuff into the body as much.

I also have the Eibachs now so I'm in the same boat as @PWillette

These will all work fine for street driving but you're going to have a nasty bang if you ever get air.

This also should give goooobs of droop combined with your height adjusters being threaded out to a minimal lift setting. I personally would like to end up about 2.5" all around. The minimum lift for rear Eibachs is 1.3" so a 1" spacer on top should be about perfect.

I considered that but they don’t sell a track bar yet for the bronco.

worked fine for me with the stock bar

Interesting. While it does have a different mounting orientation, the track bar is still sitting in the same location (above the OEM position)and I imagine would have the same clearance issue with the frame for suspensions that compress too much.

Agreed about both brackets basically being the same in terms of clearance.

I'm running the Eibach 2.0 but am running about 4" of lift, so I'm hoping I don't have the compression clearance issue. I'll find out next time I stuff the rear passenger haha.

This could be a good work around

Some quick articulation testing with the OME bracket. I’m on the bumpstop on the shock but not fully compressed and still have about 5” of clearance before frame contact. a jump test may still create an issue but time will tell.

Thank you for this. What suspension are you running?

I'd imagine I should be fine on Eibach 2.0 with 4" of lift then. Guess I'll find out haha. Thanks!

I’m running ADS and the Rock Jock bracket. No issues seen flexing this thing out. ‘23 Wildtrak and swaybars still connected… I’d fully stuff the front with discos…

Welp, with the 4wp coilovers and fabtech relocation bracket I get contact with the frame when hitting full bump at speed booo. Kind of ridiculous that nobody makes a chassis side relocation bracket to resolve this issue.

Hi.
I'm in the sam situation and have a question.
1. 2.5' at the top of the rear shock will not damage the shock
2. If I engrave a 2.5' thick aluminum spacer and put it with long screws from end to end, is this safe?
I saw that all the spacers on the internet from 2' and up come with a distribution of short screws on each side. why is it ?
Thank you for great discussion.
