Track bar replacment time

Well my track bar is shot so i need to replace it.

I want to get the solid steel conversion kit. Now for the actual track bar, what would you guys recommend? Should i just run a stock '03 track bar or should i buy something like thurens bar? Does anybody know if the factory '03 trackbars use rubber or poly bushings?

The 03 bars use rubber, but you could change the bushings to poly after the rubber ones wear, I have about 50k on mine at this point and no signs of wear yet.

If you need the adjustability then I get one of the aftermarket bars if not then I would just get a stock 03 bar

Depends on how high the truck is lifted. I went with the weld in Thuren track bar because I have a 5" lift. How high is your truck lifted to clear the 35s?

0-3" lifted trucks can use the stock style Thuren bar or a 3rd gen bar with the adapter bracket. The axle will be offset to one side the higher the lift if the trackbar has no adjustment capability.
