I have a 85 ford f250 4x4 that i did the Dana 60 conversion. I need to make a track bar and drop bracket i was wondering what the lenght of the track bar was from the center of each bolt. Also any other tips would be great thanks

IIRC the track bar should parrellel the Steering tie rod and be nearly the same length as the Steering tie rod. Though I dont recall the track bar being employed by Ford on a solid front axle that was leaf sprung until just recently in manufacturing but I could be wrong...

I know the 87-97 F350's had a short trac-bar. Did you do a shackle reversal? If not then you definatly need a trac-bar. Try and keep it the same as the drag link
