Lukes links are nice for some people they work for others they don't. You mentioned about getting a retrofit kit to receive the 3rd gen track bar. Great idea. Only one hold up, If you plan to lift you truck and get an adjustable track bar "thuren" for example it doesn’t clear the stock differential cover not to mention if you have upgraded to a mag-hytec or comparable. If you want to lift the truck (even 2" level) stick with the 2nd gen setup. If you can leave stock go with the 3rd gen retrofit and never worry about your track bar again. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone...rather than wait 2 weeks for parts I ordered the Lukes Link...if it works as advertised great, no need to do further but at the very least it should carry me through to a decision on another track bar...if needed...

I got the Auto Zone lifetime track bar for about $130. Can't beat the warranty and they had it the next day.

The guy takes a stock track bar and welds a cap on it, he then takes the OEM nylon out of the cup and replaces it with a steel socket. Next, he puts a cap on the top, greases it up and youre good to go. The cost was $215 and he claims that this will be the last track bar you will buy. Also, said if you ever wear it out, it will be REPLACED FREE - no questions asked. When it starts to loosen up, you just crank it one notch tighter and put the cotter pin back in.

If youre interested - heres the info:

Franks Auto
316 Reynold Road
Billings, Mt
406-591-4644

As a point of reference...I was going to get a ThurenFab Trackbar - they retail at $300 + shipping, or a DT Profab and they are running $360+ shipping. At the time I bought this, A Moog bar was over $200 and the NAPA Gold was $217


They are more than willing to ship these out and if you have any questions, just give Frank a call. One thing - you will need you to supply an OEM Trackbar.


Heres a couple of pics:





Oh yeah, hes a fellow Cummmins owner
This is pretty much same concept as Luke's Link.
