Dodge third Gen Track Bar here.... with the Solidsteel.biz braclet. Been happy with it...not serious wear yet...been on for 80,000 miles. They are pricey also (was $245.00 full retail in 2004) but very stout.
Installed above before Thuren or SolidSteel had theirs on the market. Would go that route if was doing today....adjustable is nice to keep truck centered on frame. With 2" front lift mine is about 3/4" off... but I see no negative side effects?

Blue, didn't you know.... Solidsteel Braclets for our trucks have been the hottest thing since trucknutz. But at least the braclets are functional. 
I would highly recommend the 3rd gen bracket and adjustable track bar from Solid Steel. I have installed a bunch of these things now, and on some of the most severe duty trucks you could imagine, highest mileage thus far is about 100k miles, with no problems, in heavy off-road mining work.

my vote is for solid steel beacuse I have them on both trucks and love them. The other companys are great im sure but I have no personal experance with them. I've used both the soild trac bar and the adjustable. I'd use the soild if I had 2" or less of lift (witch i did) and prefer it over the adjustable. But I had to use the adjustable with the 4.5" lift. Also if you dont have the DSS i highly suggest it as well.

I have a stock track bar with the lukes link sitting in my garage. Appears to be still tight as when I first installed it. I upgraded to the Thuren and I didn't notice a difference, but I have the peace of mind that it won't go bad now.

I just got my track bar from Don Thuren. It makes the truck drive like it is brand new. The bracket that I had on there before started cracking and gave me death wobble when I was down in Las Vegas for the race. But Don got a track bar shipped out to me ealry and the drive back to North Dakota was a lot nicer. But I would recommend Thuren track bar , anything, to anybody.

Got my thuren's track bar in tonight. Talk about an impressive piece. The welds are perfect and the craftsmanship is simply amazing. I'll let yall know how it performs this weekend once I get it installed but for now I can't wait.
