Possibly a dumb question but when you say RHD do you mean right hand drive as in steering wheel on the passenger side?

Lol yes. The drag link would be used on a RHD jeep. The way we flip the drag link is by using one off/for a RHD jeep. Try putting your stock one on top of the drilled out knuckle and see what happens. You will not be able to steer because of the bend getting in the way

I honestly would have never even thought about the bend. Thanks for the clarification. Makes a lot more sense now. I was wondering why would I put a RHD part on a LHD vehicle lol.

You want the bracket. It keeps your steering components parallel. But the drag link flip kit comes WITH the bracket so you should be getting everything you need in one shot.

I would imagine you could but your steering geometry would be off. The flip is for lifts over 3 inches. The track bar bracket raises the track bar mount to keep your steering geometry correct. I may have missed or misworded some of that but I'm sure the others on here can chime in and help clarify better.

I have 3.5 lift with Rubicon express track bar and the axel is perfectly centered with the current set up. I do want to flip the drag link so in my mind if i have no issue with the track bar what do i gain by installing the whole flip system and not just the drag link itself.
Again i am new to the Jeep world but not the offroad.
Thank's again

Having the whole system in place will help to keep your steering geometry as close to stock as possible. The track bar bracket helps keep your track bar and drag link parallel like mike said since the angle of your drag link is changed after being flipped. The ultimate gain is keeping your steering geometry as close to stock as possible so you have a jeep that drives like it should or rather the way it was designed too.

Like Granite said. Lol I've only seen two myself, tho I haven't ever shopped on north ridge. The ones I've seen on Quadratec are either you have a ProRock44 front axle or you don't. I'm going to assume that you don't. Don't worry I don't either, them things is expensive as F***! But they are damn near the best on the market if not the best. I recently just bought the EVO flip kit and it cost about 300 or so. Very sturdy, very well made. All you need to do is drill out the knuckle with a 13/16th drill bit.
Top pic is the one I purchased. Bottom is if you have the ProRock44. Same price just the bracketry it comes with is different because of the difference in axles.

That's for if your overseas and have a RHD jeep. It uses the lhd drag link that comes stock on ours while we use the RHD link that comes stock for them
