Here's the bracket:



Trackbar is located at the middle of the frame, and it's 60 mm (2 3/8") from the bottom of the frame. Bolt size 16 mm.

That's honestly stupid to do as a company.

Here is a video showing the installation of a Solid Steel adjustable 3rd gen track bar and bracket.

If SSI would communicate, I'd feel more like sending them my $. I may source one anyway, but it'll be through a vendor that answers the phone

Completely understand. I don't think I sourced my Solid Steel adjustable track bar directly from them either (I purchased it several years ago), as I typically shop around quite a bit. I do remember that I purchased the conversion bracket and the adjustable track bar from separate vendors. The conversion bracket is made exactly like the one in the video and since I have a Borgeson steering box, I had to purchase a longer bolt for one of the steering box mount points that the conversion bracket uses.

Just got back from the junk yard. Picked up a factory 2003 2500 track bar. Now need to order the bracket and some new bushings... and figure out if I want to sandblast that bar, or just wirebrush.

Anyone dealt with Pure Diesel Power?
