OEM track bar vs aftermarket: What's the difference?

The track bar in my truck needs to be replaced. I would eventually like to upgrade to something like a Solid Steel adjustable 3rd Gen setup, but in the meantime I'm thinking about using a Luke's Link as a band-aid to get by until the funds allow for a more permanent fix. Problem is, I do not know if my truck has the original track bar on it or an aftermarket replacement. My understanding is that the Luke's Link will only work with the original equipment style track bar and not a Moog or whatever replacement. So my question is, how are the two distinguished from one another?

Where the ball stud is on the trackbar it has to be 1 5/8" outside diameter for a luke link to work. Moog bars are 2", lukes link wont work.
