i liked it a lot. i went about two years and needed a new bushing in the top but other than that it was great. there is a place that makes urathane replacement bushings for the bar too.

I recently bought an 03 quad cab. The track bar bushings were shot. When I priced a track bar at the dealer (they say there are no bushings available) I nearly passed out. I went to a friends machine shop and we machined aluminum bushings to replace the rubber while retaining the metal sleeves that the rubber originally was pressed into. So far this has been a rock solid fix. Time will tell the rest of the story!

might wanna check out Thuren Fabrications track bar as well. Its a stout piece and cheaper than a 3rd gen conversion. Most guys that have them swear by them.

Thought it was a bit pricey but I should never need another track bar so why not. I also did the steering box brace as well. It did a good job of cleaning up the bump steer I had when hitting a bump at speed but didn't do much for the play in the steering. I was hoping for a bigger improvement but I think my box might be worn.
If you are lifted you'll probably really enjoy it but for stock you might not see a huge difference.
I got mine at a local shop here in Alberta.

Mines been on for almost 3 years and it been great!!!!
I might look into a poly bushing soon as I'm sure the rubber one will need to be replaced at some point, but other than that its great.

The Moogg replacement helps but wears out. I've replaced mine twice in the last 2 1/2 years. I'm also thinking about an adjustable trac bar to center my axle and eliminate road wander.

I got mine from KLM Performance and highly recommend them. I ordered it online and before the computer got cold it was sitting on my doorstep. I am very pleased with their service and will definately buy from them again! JM2C

Thuren has a track bar for lifted trucks. It says 5"-10" on the website, but it works fantastic with my 4.5 Skyjacker lift and 37" Toyos! Next is a Borgeson steering shaft...
