Default 2001 Dodge Ram Offroad Edition

Hello all,
I just put a 2 inch leveling kit on my 01 ram offroad edition and my trac bar is too short, so it pulled my axle over about an inch to the driver side. Do any of you have suggestions on a good adjustable trac bar or a drop kit that has a decent trac bar with it? All suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

I have the same model and year and I didn't have any problem with my trac bar. Everything went back together and nothing was changed but the hieght. The truck drives the exact same as it did before and I have had the kit on it for several months now. Thats kind of wierd. So is your axle offset now?

It is just an estimate. When you stand in front of the truck after you get the leveling kit on, look at how far your tire sticks out in relation to the fender. Then look at the passenger side. You will notice that the passenger side is tucked in a little and the driver side sticks out. I was hoping I wasn't going to have to buy a trac bar, but just like you I got mixed answers. When you go to put the trac bar back on you will notice that you have to fight it to get it back on. Thats why. I know two other people that have had the same issue. Good luck to you and let me know if you run into the problem too.
