I have 2"x 4" lowering kit on it. I relocated the bar with the kit and it was still wobbly at high speeds. I just thought, why not, and flipped the track bar. It's night and day. Has anyone else done/heard of this?

Can you explain what you did to flip the trackbar? Swap it end for end or move it in relation to the rear axle housing? If you lowered the rear end, did you have the caster adjusted or checked?

Following… I want to do 2/4” drop on my ‘12 4x4.

You didn't change the distance from frame to axle by flipping the bar as it is straight and non-adjustable, I'm curious if one of the bushings may be bad however.

On a 2/4 you will need to relocate the control arms to get pinion angle back.

I may be confused, there's two bars. One is a straight tube that gets relocated with the kit. I believe that is the panhard bar. The other is a bar with a few bends in it, this is what I'm referring to. I believe it is the track bar, may be the sway bar, may be the same thing? Any way I disconnected the endliks and the two mounting brackets on the axle and simply flipped it over. Meaning the end that was on the right is now on the left.

And that's what the relocation bracket that comes with the kit is for, to keep the wheel placement in the center of the well. If that's what you mean by caster

If you give me a few, I'll get you a Pic

The sway bar is also symmetrical.

you flipped your sway bar and used the track bar bracket to relocate the track bar. as for what flippint the swaybar would do i have no idea except force the bushings to run on the non worn out side.

Track bar and panhard bar are the same thing. Keeps the axle centered from side to side. I have read that it’s best to swap to 4” shorter sway bar end links ( vertical links that go from sway bar ends to frame) to keep it level to the ground.

The sway bar is also symmetrical.

Symmetrical to the fact that the bolt holes line up on either side but not to the fact that the big bend in the middle needs to be pushed up to bolt it to the axle. Now the bend, which normally is parralel with the truck is almost perpendicular

It took quite a bit of rotational force to get it to attach to the axle

I beefed up the twig factory links with adjustable 8-10” Hellwig ends.
