trac bar question

Ok. Just ordered new tires and wheels and am not sure if I will need a leveling kit or not. If I do, I will need to address the trac bar. What I don't understand is that you can buy a drop bracket for the stock bar or you can buy an adjustable bar. But the adjustable is just length adjustment with heims ends, correct? So how does it compensate for the height difference. It seems like a bracket to drop the stock bar would be better, not to mention much less expensive.

Please educate me.

from what i've gathered, I know the don thuren is adjustable on one end from 0" lift to 3" lift. The other end is a poly bushing which is way better handling than the factory rubber bushings on a stock track bar. and the DT piece is completely rebuildable. With that said, let me also say that I have experienced the whole death wobble ordeal. And I also unfortunately bought a new oem track bar for 300$$$ and some change. so, my advise, don't be like me and buy a drop bracket b/c sooner or later, you will replace the oem track bar, period. Do it now while it'll make sense to you financial advisor....
