Lukes Linc or Dt trac bar?

Well what do you think. I have no lift, I drive mostly on the highway except during hunting season. I'm leaning toward lukes linc because 1. It's cheaper 2. I really dont think i need something as heavey duty as the DT trac bar. I'm Also going to install darrins steering stabilizer. What do you think.

www.lukeslink.com/

I've installed Luke's on several trucks, cheap, easy, long lasting fix.

I went with the DT trac bar and the Darrins aka Solid Steel stabilizer. Very happy with the results. However, I would not hestitate to buy a trac bar set up from Solid Steel. They were great to deal with and I would highly recommend them and their products.

Ive got a L.L. on my truck. Works good I guess. I put it on before I had a problem becuase I had no intentions of betting into a bad situation with the stocker.

The only thing I have noticed is a small shinny spot on my differential cover. It looks like I had some major axle travel and the LL scored it a little. It is starting to rust, so i guess it isnt hitting it all the time. Who knows?


LL is easy to deal with. I had no problems.

I ordered Lukes Link today for all my front end joints, all 5 joints. I'm going to send a check tommorrow for the dss steering stabilizer. Lukes linc gives you a discount for buying all 5.

what about the differential when you use lukes links? I have seen a couple threads on lukes link hitting the diff. cover?
I am either buying lukes just for the trac links for now or get the dt trac bar plus I am getting the steering stabilizer

Ok. Where is the track bar? Is it that little bar that loops over the front axle?
