Description & Fitment
The TeraFlex Front Track Bar Drop Bracket and Frame Brace Kit tackles the front-end problems common on a lifted 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK or JK Unlimited, and TeraFlex highly recommends it for 4" of lift or more. The drop bracket lowers the front track bar's frame mount to correct steering geometry for better highway manners, with several holes to fine-tune track bar angle and cut bump steer. A frame brace and brace bar stiffen the frame to reduce shimmy, without affecting stability or traction control. Welding is required, and the kit must be paired with a TeraFlex HD Forged Drag Link Flip Kit (1853905 or 1853930) on left-hand-drive models only.

About TeraFlex
TeraFlex describes itself as a Jeep company at heart, started and staffed by people who drive them. It designs, engineers and builds suspension systems, shocks, axles and performance parts, with the Wrangler and Gladiator at the center of the range.
The company traces its roots to the 1950s and MEPCO (Military Equipment Parts Company), an early supplier of Jeep parts. TeraFlex Manufacturing followed in 1996 to build heavy-duty suspension for the TJ Wrangler, and today's catalog runs from full lift systems and the Falcon shock line to axles, steering and armor.
Authorized TeraFlex dealer. Prestige Truck is an authorized TeraFlex dealer, so what we sell is new and genuine TeraFlex. In TeraFlex's words, its limited warranty extends "only to the consumer who originally purchased the product," so keep your receipt with your build records.

Installation
- Basic mechanics tool set
- Mallet or dead blow hammer
- Welder
- Wire brush
- Grinder or wire wheel
- Rest on TeraFlex's tool list
Here's the short version. Follow TeraFlex's install sheet (below) for your Jeep's exact steps and torque values.
- Lift the Jeep, support the frame on jack stands, remove the front wheels and unbolt the track bar at both ends (21mm). The kit needs 4"-6" of lift and welding (p1).
- Remove the two lower steering box bolts (18mm), bolt on the drop bracket and mark it for welding; set the brace bar's fixed end in the factory track bar mount, bend up, then loosely fit the frame-side bracket and mark it against the frame (p4).
- Remove the brackets, clean them and the frame to bare metal, refit them, fit the 1/2" button-head bolt from inside the factory bracket at 65 ft-lbs and the steering box bolts at 87 ft-lbs, and cut off the exposed bolt end; with the brace bar out, weld both brackets flush, then clean, prime and paint (p5).
- Refit the brace bar: 3.5" bolt at the drop bracket, 3" bolt at the frame bracket.
- TeraFlex requires an HD Forged Drag Link Flip Kit with this kit (sold separately: 1853905 with HD tie rod kit, 1853930 without); fit it to its own instructions, then fit the track bar in the frame bracket hole that sets it parallel to the drag link and torque both ends to 125 ft-lbs.
- Refit the wheels at 95-115 ft-lbs, lower the Jeep, center the axle with the track bar and get a full alignment.
