Default for the 2nd generation dodge owners

I was wondering if anyone had done the updated track bar replacement for the 95 to 2002 rams.In using the 2003 ram track bar, And what model is the 03 model track bar off of??

Is it off of a 1500,2500,3500, and what motor is in it?? I have been looking for this part to up grade my 95 2500 so i dont need to use the ball joint style end. From what i was told that this 03 track bar has bushing style ends on both sides. and you would need to fab up a bracket or order one on line. I found the bracket on line for a 156.00 bucks and well i can make a way stronger one than the one they are selling and weld it to the frame instead of bolting it. I need to figure this out soon before mine brakes off..

The '03-up tracbar is off 2500 and 3500 models. 02-up 1500 Rams have an independent front suspension.

If you want to go the extra mile with the upgraded track bar, Geno's Garage sells polyurethane replacement bushings for the 03 trackbar.

thanks purple I needed to know because I think I'm going to call the junk yards around here and get one and order them bushings off that site you gave me. I am so tired of changing that track bar every 3 yrs I had a custom one on it before and kept breaking the heim joints off (dont ask because I dont even know how they broke)so i tossed it and went with the stock ones.

I know what you mean. My truck wanders down a smooth road! Can you give me a link to the relocation bracket? I'm looking into this as well.

To proud Canadians, it is. Not a US product, but at least it ain't a Mexico or China part.

Yeah, I'd trust the Canadians over ******** or Chinese almost any day. That is, unless its a FRENCH Canadian.

EDIT: Interesting, the word for the people that live in Mexico (and the correct term to, not a bad term) gets starred out.
