I just installed a set of 2.5&quot; sky jacker leveling springs. The install took about 4 hours of actual work using two floor jacks, basic hand tools, and a homemade spring compressor Now the question is how long will my stock trackbar last? <br><br>Matt

 

Ironhorse<br>If you have over 50k miles on your beast of burden, the stock track bar is probably aready past its prime. I replaced mine with a unit from Lindstat Alignment for half of the ******* price. Their track bar is a stock unit with their proprietary end welded on. Much better than stock. They can be reached at 800-432-0017. Sorry I can't provide a link, I'm not that literate.

 

Just curious but is there another way beside replacing the whole track bar. Like pressing out the ends of the track bar and pressing new ends in? I thought i had heard someone else talk about this also. i have already replaced mine. Just wondering. -Anthony

 

Isn't the &quot;Luke's Link&quot; fix for the trackbar just replacement ends for the stock bar?<br><br>Maybe do a search for &quot;luke's link&quot;.<br><br>I think the &quot;DT Trackbar&quot; fix is a whole unit.<br><br>Those are the two most popular fixes, here and other boards, and a replacement from NAPA I think.<br><br><br>phox

 

The truck has about 5500 miles on it now, so I should be able to get a little more life out of it. Any one running the DT trackbar? It looks like a good unit, but is there anything comperable for less money?<br><br>Matt

 

Mine is still good at 86,000<br>Michael

 

Just replaced the trackbar on mine at 79k. They put a Moog part on it. A friend of mine has a 2002 1 ton and replaced his at under 15K (at least warranty covered his..)<br><br>Michael

 

Iron Horse<br>If you put a set of D25 springs in, it won't last long from my experience. Mine lasted about 4K miles after D25's as I think they abuse it more. Also with those springs the only real fix is a DT trackbar if you want to center your axel that is. If you look and measure your axel will be off center with those springs and I believe the DT is the only adjustable length trackbar out there. Its what I run and I like it.<br>JMHO

 

That is about what I expected to hear. I guess that a DT trackbar is first on my list of things to buy. Thanks a lot for the feedback.<br><br>Matt

 

I installed DT trackbar aprox 40k miles ago still steers great alot better then the stock unit. Easy to install

 

which bar is the track bar? I'm cornfused about it. ;D

 

I installed the Lukes Link kit on mine, $75 shipped to the house, took about one hour to install. <br><br>www.lukeslink.com<br><br>The track bar is the one that goes from the lower right side of the front axle to the attachment point on the left side of the frame.

 

thats what I thought it was but why do you need to change it when you get a 2&quot; lift?<br>thanks<br>Aaron<br>

 

Well, you don't have to change it, but if you don't replace it with an adjustable unit it will shift your front axle to the drivers side a little with the lift.

 

I'd be sure to get that tracbar upgrade! I've driven a truck with the &quot;deathwobble&quot; and it aint fun!!!!!
