Leave it on the ground. It will help to have someone steer the truck back and forth, wheels on the ground while you remove and install. Sometimes heat and big heavy hammer may be required to remove the old bar.

Unhappy

Thank's.I just got a good look at every thing.Track bar end with grease zert bouncing up and down.I also have some up and down play in the center link and tie rod ends.Not sloppy but just enough you can see it.All parts are original with 76K.I guess I will start with the trac bar and a new damper and go from there.I need to recover and lick my wound's first from changing the fan belt.
