DT ProFab vs. Thuren Fabrication TracBar
just a word on DT's behalf. I was employed at DT for a couple years and nothing he sells is FN chinese! everything that comes from DT is manufactured on site. Even powdercoating is done locally. I ran the cnc's and lasers that produce the parts. so if you actually do live nearby, I suggest you stop by and check out his operation. all his dodge and jeep parts kick ***. theres no need to **** talk!
The only caution I have is on the crossover steering. The hiem joints when worn get pretty loose and theres no way to lubrucate them. Usually they're not recomended for daily drivers. Most guys who convert a true dd wish they hadn't. You'll also have to drill your spindles out as well.
BTW, I'm not knocking the quality or design of this system. If my truck were "trail only" with bigger diffs and tires I'd convert.
A better and reasonable solution is to convert to the 98.5 1ton "crossover" steering. It gives you the benefits of the tighter feel and road handling along with greasable and easily replacable tie rods.
I have been running this system almost 2 years now and I love it. Why dodge came up with the "Y" system is a mystery to me.

dt products are so hard to buy from i have a shop near there store(recieving dock) and you can not get any thing from them within a few days i think they have it manufactured in china because you need to order online only and also pay online only ??????????????????????????????
I am a Manufacturer of motorcyle parts about 10 miles from DT we also do not sell retail from our shop you can order online or buy from one of our dealers, on another note not only do we not allow walk in traffic we actualy keep the doors lock 50% of the time.
Just like angryswede said if you live so close maybe you should stop by see the shop and talk to the guys you will see that they have a very capable shop that builds all of their stuff right there. I have been in their shop they even make there jam nuts in-house.
This subject hits home because like I said I to manufactuer parts (motorcyle parts though) right here in the USA and have done so for the past 32 years every single item that we make is made in the US if it is not made in house it is made by US companies.
