Default Track Bar?

Hey guys I drive a 1997 dodge 1500 4x4 sport, I bought a moog track bar a year ago and its already junk after about 17,000 miles. I also put in 3/4 ton springs in the front which raised my front end about 2 inches. I want to install and XRF track bar soon but I was wondering if I should get an adjustable one, whats your opinion? ive heard good and bad but trying to find the ultimate choice. XRF offers both adjustable and non adjustable.
Thanks

Skip the stock style track bar, and go for an upgrade. Get the third-gen style, adjustable track bar, and adapter bracket. Never have to worry about your track bar again.

With an adapter bracket. No hole drilling required. You may spend a little more now, but, you won't ever have to buy another one.

Dodge Off-Road has 'em for 425..... Not cheap, but, nice piece, Spohn has 'em for 340. (they make some good stuff, they come highly recommended from the 3rd gen F-body crowd.) They can also be found on ebay for less than that.
