For a stock unlimited 08.. Better to get an adjustable track bar or just a standard one and upgrade the hardware?..

Why are you thinking of replacing the track bars? The stock ones are fine unless damaged...or you will be installing a lift.

Depends on the lift you have.

Trying to cure my DW problem one piece at a time .. Just replaced 4 very worn ball joints two weeks ago and that seemed to help but now it's back ..

I wouldnt go just replacing stuff. Your better off to know whats the problem before changing things.

I would start by making sure all of the front end is torqued properly.

So I spent a couple hours and re tourqued the front end suspension bolts.. Then while coasting doe an incline around 55 started applying the brakes and the DW started back in again.. I just don't get it.. New rotors and pads all the way around .. No lift just straight stock.. It's an 08 and it's driving me crazy ..:?

Have you tried all the usual DW things on the look for list? Check for play in the unit bearings? Have someone else move the steering wheel back and forth while your under it checking ALL moving parts of the steering system? Taking the time to check everything is way cheaper than firing the parts cannon at the jeep. If your in doubt at all about anything, take it apart. Way cheaper to know what's not broken than to just guess at it. Good luck.

follow all the steps outlined here - this should help you narrow it down before spending more money:

If you find it is the track bar, get another stock unit.
