Buy enough brackets...you get a braclet!

From the looks of the Thuren Bar, it's good that UPS raised their weight limit. Need help lifting it?

I wish i could have held off to buy the 3rd gen kit. I was on my way to a rodeo this last weekend and broke my track bar right at the bend. Replaced her in a parts store parking lot and was on my way but a little lighter in the pocket book.

I put a MOOG on my '97.

Then a second one 50-60,000 km later. Gotta love the lifetime warranty.

Big Blue,
When you get that thing installed give us all a heads up on what you had to do to install it!
I still have not installed my Thuren track bar (yet).

I've had my Thuren for about a year now, install was easy only thing you need is a 300lbs torque wrench. I have D25 springs up front with Bilsteins & It did help but I think the DSS should eliminate most of the wander, I just ordered the DSS.

Will do. Remember though that since I'm lifted 4.5" mine's a weld on so it's gonna be different. I'll let yall know though. I just got hit up with I think the flu so it might be postponed.

Anyone know if the price for the 3rd generation track bar on Thuren's website includes the bracket for the upgrade? Pete

Nope, track bar only. You have a 97, you don't need the 3rd gen bar. Don has a 0-3" bar that's a direct bolt in replacement for the OEM track bar.

OEM 2nd gen track bar vs. OEM 3rd gen track bar= big difference

Thuren's 2nd gen bar vs. Thuren's 3rd gen bar= little to no difference.
