You are using the 3" full traction lift right? I wonder why you are having problems. Was this damaged?

Well it uses a relocation bracket which raises the trackbar like 6 inches on the driver's side. The main problem is it has been destroying everything above it when I flex out. And that was with the given bump stops. It trashed the sending unit wires and that fuel line that I have had problems with. So I was going to add some more washers above the aluminum bumpstop and I stripped the internal threads on the jeep :-\ So I have lost about 3 inches of bumpstop but that's not biggie right now. I'll have a permanent fix this summer. For this weekend I'm making a contraption of hockey pucks for my bumpstops and making sure this bracket won't hit my fuel lines again.
The bracket also moves a little bit. No big deal at the moment, but I would rather it not do that. The bar will contact my gas tank skid when both rear springs are compressed, like going over speed bumps.
If I had an adjustable track bar it wouldn't contact the skid, wouldn't move around (probably help with handling) and it wouldn't rape my break lines. So I want one.
I called Oconee offroad to see if they had any or could get one by tomorrow night and they said no way, so I may call him next week when I get back.

That's not a bad idea. I need to make some for when I do my SYE this summer anyways.
Edit: added some bumpstop for this weekend so it doesn't kill my fuel lines again. :P

I wonder what the difference is between my rubicon 3.5" lift and your 3" lift is in this area. Mine also uses a bracket but just slightly rubs the rear tank skid at the top. Other than that no problems.

Will, do you have adjustable rear UCA's and LCA's or are they fixed?

I have all the stock (fixed) control arms at the moment. I'll be needed some adj. rear uppers this summer when I do my SYE but I think I can build them without much trouble so I may buy some joints and tubing and have a whack at it.
-
If you buy a new one, you can't go wrong with JKS or RE.
-
I say JKS is the best out there. I have the rear adjustable control arms and if all there stuff is made the same way then I will stick with them.
-
The RE we put on Adams is very nicely made.
-
All I can stress is be careful when using a relocation bracket that raises the axle end. Make sure that everything above it is clear and you have plenty of bumpstop to keep it from contacting any important stuff like fuel lines :P I won't make that mistake again.
It's not that big a problem at the moment, but I'll probably be picking one up soon.
