So I just got the rear prorock 60 installed and put my track bar back on and it's pretty close to the diff. I was wondering what everyone was running for a track bar on a prorock 60. Thanks for the help

how close is pretty close? You can get as close as possible, just as long as you're not hitting anything :thumb:

This video from the Metal Cloak website shows the travel on what appears to be a stock Dana 44......the travel is quite a bit.......being that the D60 center section is much larger you may interfere with the track bar at full stuff.......cycle the suspension up with the floor jack and see what you got.......

If it moves that much it will hit for sure.

Well you won't know for sure unless you find out and at least you'll know if it does and by how much.......I'm guessing you may be fine......at full stuff on the video it shows the track bar to the rear of the the cover....so it may clear......Eddie I believe runs a stock track bar on his D80

can you get a pic from above the axle looking down? how much space is between the track bar and the axle on a horizontal plane?

I called evo and they also said to us the stock track bar but after looking at the stock one I don't think it will make much difference

Pretty sure they are running factory but it's different with the lever system. Track bar is mounted on the inside of the axle not the outside.

This is correct. We are still running our factory rear track bar with our PR80 but, we are also running an EVO lever system that has a different mount. I wouldn't hesitate to run one with an EVO track bar relocation bracket though.

I have the Evo relocation bracket that came with the coilovers but it just doesn't look like there is enough room between the pumpkin and the track bar. It looks like it will hit when flexing

Just to double check, do you have it installed right side up? Also, have you cycled your axle to make sure it won't or will hit? I have run a factory track bar with a ProRock 60 in the past and have not had any issues. In fact, I will be doing it again on Rubicat.

Glad to hear it. I know there are a lot of people that will try and tell you that you need to spend money on things you really don't need and really, I'm sure that helps the economy. But, coming from a guy who can afford to run pretty much whatever I want, I choose a lot of factory parts for a reason. :yup:

Ya well the only reason I was running the metalcloak one is because it came with the lift but I will not be running it anymore. Thanks again.
