Track bar
I need a new track bar on my 2nd gen. I'm thinking about going with a Thuren and a PSC stabilizer kit. Anyone running this setup? How do you like it?

Cant go wrong with Thuren t-bar as long as you stick with Y style steering and stock length control arms. T style steering will give slight bump steer and your diff will hit the uniball with 1/2" or longer than stock control arms. As far as stock replacement t-bars go Dons rules.

i was at a diesel performance shop the other day and they mentioned 4500/5500 trackbar conversions are now being done. i asked if they were do-able on 2nd gens and they said no problem (provided there was no miscommunication between us).
i am currently using frank's track bar with a lazarsmith zero-deflection bushing:

I just recently changed my steering from the Y to the T. I have the PCS steering stabilizer. I was going to go with the Thuren track bar, but I needed one right away and his was three weeks away. I called DT profab they had one in stock and sent it to me the same day. I really like their service and their product looks well made.
My truck feels much better now but I have nothing to compare it to except worn out stock parts.

I also have a 2" leveling kit, will that affect anything? If end up going to a 3rd gen can I get a stock track bar or do I need an adjustable one because of the 2"?
