Default I need a Track Bar

So I need a new Track Bar, ball joint worn out.
Wanting to switch to the 03 or newer track bar.
Is this the only option for a bracket ?
I'm sure it is good, but Awful pricy for just a bracket.

Pricey, but worth it, imo.

Did this upgrade to my '97 1500 4x4 back in '06 after the third stock track bar crapped out.

That was about 150,000 hard miles ago.

XRF makes good quality ball joints. That price for an adjustable track bar is hard to beat.

Looking at the different makes, DT and Spohn mounts look to be more robust compaired to Solid Steel Industries.

However the Bar from Solid Steel looks to be the better.
I wonder if I could run the Spohn or DT mount with the Solid Steel bar

Any input ?
Pro's, Con's ?
What are you guys running and do you have any pics of yours mounted
and how is it holding up ?
