PPM-8056 JK REAR TRACK BAR RELOCATION BRACKET
Version 1.2
GENERAL NOTES:
These instructions are also available on our website; www.polyperformance.com.
The installation of this bracket requires cutting part of the factory track bracket
off.
You must use a minimum of 3” of rear bump stop extension, PPM-8058 (3”) or
PPM-8076 (4”) to prevent the track bar from contacting the exhaust at full jounce travel.
1. Remove the factory rear track bar from the axle bracket and loosen the track bar from the frame bracket to allow the track bar to rotate out of the way. Secure the track bar up and out of the way with a bungee cord or something similar.
2. Cut part of the factory track bar off as shown in the following pictures. The pictures show using a 4 ½” grinder with a cut off wheel but a sawzall can also be used.

4. Install the u-bolts over the axle tube and through the track bar relocation bracket, use a flat washer and nylock nut to secure the u-bolt. On some rear axle housing there is a weld along the front of the axle tube opposite of the track bar bracket. Grind the weld down just were it goes under the u-bolt so that the u-bolt contacts the entire tube.
5. Torque the 9/16 bolt to 150 ft-lbs, and the
6. Torque the 3/8” u-bolts to 30 ft-lbs.
7. Attach the track bar to the new track bar relocation bracket using the factory nut and bolt. It helps to have some one push the back of vehicle from side to side to align the track bar bushing to the hole in the bracket. Tighten the track bar bolt to 125 ft-lbs.
8. The track bar bolt may rub the coil spring on some applications. This is often due to the coil spring bowing because the pinion angle has increased. Solutions to this are as follows:
Trim the end of the bolt sticking through the nut
Flip the bolt around so the bolt head is adjacent to the spring
Rotate the spring so the bolts is in between coils
Cut and rotate the lower spring mounts on the axle
Install polyurethane lower coil wedges
