Don Thuren has a nice 3rd gen trac bar kit. Usually the trac bar starts to wear and a trickle down affect begins heading to the tie rod ends and ball joints next. I went with the Thuren trac bar (it's got rebuildable ends for about $80.00) Moog ball joints and tie rod ends. The steering stabilizer is still pretty stiff so I left it alone. My front end was pretty sloppy at 60K but after all the work and an alignment its pretty tight now. Some of the other guys like their Lukeslink set up and the solid steel parts rate pretty well, so I've read. Good luck. Kurt

these guys are making some really good parts, i have their track bar, and just ordered some ball joints, one of the guys used to work for dana and nkg, and has some good info on how they make their stuff and why its holding up so well in the logging, and oil field realms, way cheaper than the 3rd gen bar set up as well, i looked into all the options before going with these guys, and decided for the money that i had to try them out, i know one guy who has replaced all the front end stuff with xrf and is very happy, owners name is John
