Default another tracbar question?

Maybe my searching skills need improvement, but i cant find an answer to this question. Im looking for an aftermarket replacement for our horrible balljoint-style tracbar. I have a levelling kit, so im not looking for a 5" lift bar or anything like that. just something that will last a bit longer than 18 months like my last two. I have also considered the Lukes-link, does anyone have any expeirence with this peice?

Thuren, KORE, any of those.

This is a much better alternative than a Lukes link...

I have a Luke's Link and have had no problems. I'm not a hard core wheeler, but I hid the mud and hills about once a week. I went through two stock trac bars in one year, decided to try the Luke's Link and have had it for 3 years w/o even having to adjust it yet. It is a pain to install though.

You do realize that the Thuren ball joint is replacable? Just wondering if you know that.

If you do, just make sure you order it well before you need it. Mine took a few weeks to get(partially due to the Holidays), but I don't need it yet, so I didn't care.
