Stunning and huge compared to the standard

This thing is massive and heavy compared to the standard track. Installation is fairly easy, but setup may take a few extra minutes. Make sure the axle is centered before connecting. Take your measurements and adjust the bar BEFORE installing it as it is non-adjustable once installed! Once installed, it's rock solid. I've already repositioned the steering stabilizer so I'm not sure about the gap to the stem. I really took my time and did it in less than an hour.

Pros
  • Shocks, Struts and Suspension
Cons
  • Protection

Although this is a stronger rack than stock, I have been able to get the steering wheel back to center while driving since installing it. Even after 2 wheel alignments and reinstalling the tie rod just to check the straight axle again. Extremely upset. Also, the instructions say the bolt to tighten on the stem is 1-1/2" and I went to 3 shops to finally find one that fit and it didn't fit me. On this one I have to reinsert my standard here, which obviously defeats the whole purpose.

Pros
  • Spares
Cons
  • Clarity

Powerful Chassis Upgrade

This thing is more powerful than the stock chain. I would get "death wobbles" and vibrations in the steering wheel from time to time. The top bushing on my stock track was shot through. It's unbelievable how a small game can cause such a terrible wobble. Pretty easy to install. The bottom end was very tight and I had to use a jack to get it in place. As recommended in another review, I used an old rail as a length reference and only had to measure it once. About 30 minutes in total, of which 15

Pros
  • Automotive
Cons
  • So far so good

Very Happy: Shocks, Struts and Suspension

I have a 2013 Sahara with a 3" lifter. Began to experience vibration and front end weakening. There are a number of things that cause wobble to death, so this may or may not fix the problem but it still needs an update. My wobble to death was caused by bad bushings on the stock tie rod. The Raptor rail completely solved my wobble and really stabilized my front end Partly Took me about 30 to install Minutes Installation Tip - If you are removing the stock track, take your existing screws andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Chains
Cons
  • Some small things
