Wanting to purchase a new front tracking bar due to the crappy stock one went out at 24k miles (no offroading). Wondering where can I order a better one from and what brands due folks recommend? Also are there any modifications that have to be made to install a different brand? The stock bar knuckle end is at a screwy angle and Ive heard of folks replacing it with a new stock bar and it wears out just quickly as well.

Thanks, JT

I would recommend purchasing this http://www.solidsteel.ca/Trackbar.htm and an 03+ trackbar. It's not the cheapest replacement, but as the site says...it's virtually bulletproof. The stock one (as you know) isn't very good, and a stock replacement would be just as bad.

 

MY TRACK BAR IS BAD AND I THINK I AM GOING TO TRY THE LUKES LINK FIRST BECAUSE IT IS AN REPLACABLE END ON IT AND THE THING ONLY COST 66.00 DOLLARS SO I THINK I WILL TRY THIS FIRST AND SEE IF IT WORKS.....I WILL POST LATER AND TELL YOU HOW IT GOES!!!!!

I used a Lukes link and it works great. I have like 7,000 miles on it with no issues. I recomend ordering a bushing for the other side of the trac bar, since the bar will be off the truck replace everything. I think the whole job took just over an hour, I had to bang the trac bar off the truck, I have a lot of rusted together bits with 213K miles on the thing.

 

I have to second the Lukes LInk. I replaced mine and it works great but I have no lift an afterarket lift with a trackbar would e the way to go then.
