Default 96 dodge ram track bar

hey my track bar broke in half the other day. im looking at buying a new one but am wondering where is the best place to buy one. im looking at getting the straight one so i dont have to worry about breaking it again. i'v been looking at the skyjacker one but if anyone knows where else i could get one under $300 that would be great.

This one does not require you to weld anything.

How did you break your track bar? And if you broke it, I wouldn't be looking to save money on one. You put some serious abuse on it and shouldn't skimp on the next one.

He has a 6" lift. I dont think a stock one will work.

this is the second time it happened to me. this is with the stock track bar with 6" lift. the first time it only cracked so i reinforced it and welded it but this time it completely broke in half in a different spot. i wasn't doing no off roading. i was just driving down the road and my front end started to shake bad to the point were i thought my tires where gonna fall off lol. i am surly not looking to buy a stock one.

Most 5-6" lifts use the stock unit with a drop bracket.
