Adjustable Track Bar

Hey everyone I am wondering if I will have any problems out of a adjustable trac bar with only a 2 inch leveling kit? I hear that they cause bad bump steer with lifted trucks but wanting to know with just a few inches if it would make a big difference. or if I really need any with just a leveling kit. I want my front to line up straight under the the fenders.

Adjustable track bars do not cause bump steer, loose bolts, bad tires and worn tie rod ends cause bump steer. With only a 2" lift you are probably fine fine with the OE track bar.

Superlift made an adjustable track bar for these trucks, don't know if they still do. My 4" lift from Trailmaster back in 1991 came with a small 2" drop-bracket for the track bar to mount. So I'd suspect yer fine with stock. Does your truck have the stock bar, or do you only have an adjustable?

I have the stock bar but was told that if I lift it and put a adjustable track and dont keep the angle right the truck will drive funny. my front sits off a little right now so I thought about doing the djustable bar to sit it striaght again
