Carli gets my recommendation. Great company to do business with!

Many here would agree with me when I say, steer clear of BD Diesel for anything.

I got the thuren and its a good product! I got tired of replacing the fk rod end every year and upgraded to this one from EMF and would recommend it to anyone with one!

Its about the same $ and rebuild-able!

Thuren is your best bet. There are only 3 places to get a Thuren trackbar and the DTR store isn't one of them. I would order direct from Thuren.

I upgraded to bigger bolts and you might as well get it all at the same time.

All my bolts have been upgraded to the larger sizes. Upgrading gets you the added strength of the larger bolt and extra clamping force, which is a big bonus.

Any body want to convince me why an aftermarket bar is better than stock on a stock truck.
