Not sure when I'll be back up North, but hang on to them (unless you get itchy and sell them)...

Also, this prank is EPIC:

I decided to take my truck offroading yesterday and this is what happened to the trackbar when I literally went over a rock the size of a small speed bump. Also please note that this is the worthless fabtech adjustable trackbar. Looked cheap sure did prove itself.Ill make sure I never buy fabtech ever again. Although Im quite surprised this is one isnt made from china.

Did you hit the rock with diff or something? The angle on that bar is terrifying

Buy a good track bar and forget about. Yes lots of money but you get what you pay for, as you well know.

I will probably upgrade tack bars down the road, after I get some money back after my dana 60 swap.

Yes most definitely, I honestly didn't want one of those trackbars that you have to drill on the frame. But at this point its either that or bring it down to stock. Just imagine I had a stock track bar bracket from fabtech too, I could only imagine what kind of damage that would of done.

Wow, I thought fabtech actually made decent stuff.... Guess not huh?

Upgrade to the third gen style track bar. Bushings on both ends. Much better design.

Did anybody else just see the last fight of Anderson Silva's career? My stomach is still twisted after the replays.

Uhh, No. There's a reason I replace the b with a g when referring to fabtech.

Does it just bolt in? Or is there more work involved
