Adjustable track bar

So I’ve been debating taking my bds drop bracket off and getting a different track bar. What is everyone using?

I am also in the process of trying to find one. My truck is not leveled/lifted so my options are rather limited.

I like the looks of the pmf, but kind of concerned about the durability of the heim style joints over time.

I looked at the readylift.it seems to be more like the factory with the bushings and all.wonder if it’s a stronger bar?

Only time will tell if the bushing is stronger than stock but it's not the same bushing. As a whole, the bar is about twice as heavy as the stock bar. I wanted to stay away from heim/rod end style joints -- I've got a crawler that squeaks like crazy when its dusty and I didn't want to have to listen to that nonsense all the time.

I know what you mean I’ve helped my cousin a lot with his jeeps and rock crawlers and when they get a little age or dirt in them they squeak like crazy.plus I’m sure at 70 mph on interstate you would just about have to feel more harmonics.

We have a Rough Country adjustable track bar. It's reasonably priced and is much beefier than the stock track bar.

Is it primarily the bushings that wear out on the OEM track bar ends? are they not replaceable?

I have the ReadyLift Level Kit and the OEM trackbar connected to the relocation bracket - I'm perfectly centered and truck rides great right now, but it sounds like eventually I'll have to do something...

Thanks

I have the Carli commuter fox 2.0 shocks with the adjustable track bar. Handles great, super tight couldn’t be happier.

I probably would have a Carli if they made a track bar for trucks without a level kit or lift.
