Default What track bar?

Hi, my name is kris and im new here but I have a question about my 95 dodge. I bought my truck about two months ago and have been fixing it left and right sense I got it. My question is the other day I snapped my track bar in half and now its just hanging there. I seen on ebay I can get a new track bar for around 50 bucks witch isnt bad cause im trying to save money as im haveing a baby boy in a few months. My truck is a 95 ram 1500 single cap reg bed with the 5.9 360 motor. Its had a 4 inch life and sitting on 35's. can a stock size track bar fit on this or will I have to get a expendable track bar because of the lift? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I dont know alot about trucks or cars im a motorcycle kinda guy lol.

You are going to have to get an aftermarket track bar, because the stock is too short. Thats why lift kits usually come with a longer track bar.

And one question what lift kit do you have? I can find a replacement for you pretty quick...

I will move this to the technical section for you, since its a question and not a "off topic" general discussion item. You should get a bit more help that way.

I imagine that a good bump while turning would do it with a stock track bar and a lift.
I want to see a picture of it hanging there.
