I have a 99 1/2 ton 4wd with a two inch leveling kit. I have replaced almost everything in the front end and im down to the track bar. I know these trucks are bad about track bars but ive heard people talking about some that are reinforced, what is the best one for my truck? Thanks and Merry Christmas.

 

I like my moog track bar. Works well so far.

 

If you plan on keeping the truck for an appreciable amount of time, might wanna look at upgrading to the third gen style of track bar. Has bushings on both ends, and lasts a LOT longer than the original design.

 

Like HeyYou mentioned, if you plan to keep the truck awhile, install a conversion bracket to allow the use of a 3rd gen style track bar. Here is a sample of the bracket kits available:

Once you have the bracket installed, you can install a 3rd gen style track bar - an example is shown below:

I made this conversion and this setup will outlive me. About the only thing that can go bad are the poly bushings and they are easily replaceable.

 

Hey atomic dog,

I am very interested in this track bar, was installation easy?

I can only assume it works even better than new stock track bar with the ball joint

 

Anyone running Lukes Links ? I might be trying these soon on my jeep .

 

Installation was very simple. The hardest part was the removal of the old track bar at the ball joint end. This new track bar has no ball joint to fail, so it will last the life of the truck - the only wearable items are the poly-urethane bushings in each end, which are easily replaceable.

 

Thanks, I will contact the company in the link. Seems like the perfect fix for the track bar in our trucks

 

Definitely 3rd gen conversion is the way to go.

here is some other sources.

BD Diesel is another choice.

 

DT PRO FAB offers the best T-bar for these Rams with a heavy duty drop bracket or DOR he offers a good T-bar but he also uses the DT PRO FAB bracket then builds the bar. Both will set you back over 400.EDIT...The DT bar uses a Johnny joint at the frame end and a poly bushing at the axle.
