Track bar bracket info...

Is there any difference in the brackets? I have pretty much all my front suspension and steering for my '01 F350 V10, but I need a lifted bracket. I'm giong to about 5" lift...any suggestions, how much should I spend, and does anyone have one for sale?

Now if I get the adjustable track bar, do I need the drop bracket also? (at 5" lift)

you need a drop bracket, even with a adj trac bar...steering correction needs to be made with a drop pitman arm, and it will interfere with the stock trac bracket....thus, do both of them.
with my 6", the trac bar bracket is massive, and the trac bar slipped right in with zero effort.... my bracket is adjustable, 4 or 6" of lift....after that, you use the 6" spot, and an adjustable trac bar for ~ 8" lift.... at 10", crossover steering, so the pitman arm is less of a problem with trac bar bracket interferance.

i have a 4" drop bracket, and pitman arm as well.... i could be cohersed into lettin em go i bet.....maybe even with my 4" hangers!

Badford---Thanks for the offer, but I'd like to get at least a 4" drop bracket and then see if the adj. track bar is necessary.

mattsf250--I PM'ed you. I'm interested in the bracket, but already have hangers.

I do already have the pitman arm and swaybar links....its coming together slowly!
