DT VS. Thuren track bar

Both set ups looks very nice and beat the 2003 conversion price wise (assuming I didnt miss anything). Any pros and cons to each unit? I would also like to do the DSS at the same time. My truck is starting to move around a little more so I think it's time to work on the front end before the 35s go on. Thanks.

Pros are mostly in the Thuren column; its less expensive, adjustable, and I think it uses the original frame mount without modification. Only con I can think of is it still uses the "tie rod" end approach of the original trackbar; however, I have never read any complaints regarding the Thuren trackbar.

In spite of what I said, I went with the factory 3rd Gen trackbar even though it wasn't adjustable. I just liked the concept of the 3rd Gen better. Now I'm have to replace it with an adjustable trackbar since I going to "level" my truck. Go figure.

Thanks for the reply.
My truck will be leveled or lifted in the future so whatever bar I get will need to work with the suspension. It seems like the cut off is over 3-4" of lift, I'm just not sure how big to go with this truck.

I'm running a DT track bar but I'm saving for a thuren's. I'm replacing the heim joint on the DT bar every 6 months to a year and it's getting old.

These http://www.dtprofab.com/dodge.htm guys seem to have a trackbar for a taller lift. I've talked to them and they seem pretty straight forward but I haven't purchased any of their products yet.

The Thuren I just mentioned is adjustable.

This picture shoes it in stock length. There is like three inches or so of extension which would accommodate most lifts except extreme lifts.
