Best automotive track bar braces according to redditors

That's a cute crack, baby ;*

All XJ's crack right there. It's a weak spot that is made weaker because of the steering gear. Weld on the reinforcement plate, and buy a RE trackbar with frame tie in. Yes, a 110 mug welder will work. Use flux core. Don't go stupid and focus all your heat on the unibody side as you'll blow right through it.

you could also weld some angle between the front parts of the frame, right under and behind the radiator core support.

Really the only steering part that is a ZJ upgrade is Moog DS1312. Everything else (tie rod ends, adjusting sleeves, drag link, track bar) are all the same on the XJ & ZJ. It's weird that just one component is different, but like I said in an earlier post when you compare the two you will WTF at how significant the difference is. Going to the ZJ tie rod is a no-brainer even for people who just want to stay OEM.

In your original post it says you're at 2" of lift which is close to where I'm at also. The stock track bar is fine for that height. If/when you go to a taller lift it seems 3.5"-4" is the breaking point for getting rid of the OEM track bar and going to an adjustable. I'm planning on going either Old Man Emu or Rubicon Express later this year, and if I do I'm getting the Rubicon Express double shear track bar assembly along with the track bar brace. RE says it's for 4" and above, but from talking to several different shops the consensus is that you'll probably get more lift than advertised out of most kits because the springs need to settle.
