Trackbar/Panhard rod relocation kit

Edit:

2001 F250 4x4 with leaf springs.

Does anyone here have pictures of the Rubicon express Trackbar relocation kit? Basically the one that takes the track bar off the axle tube and puts it on the top of the spring pack?

My bracket on the axles is broken. It's been welded 3 different times and is going to break again. I'm tired of dealing with it and found this kit that relocates trackbar to the top of the spring pack. I have dual shocks up front and the install instructions only show a single shock and doesn't really talk about the shocks..

Or if there's another kit that does the same thing I'd appreciate being pointed that way.. (In the future I plan on getting the ORU high steer kit as well) I just need to get this trackbar thing taken care of..

People will say to remove it and it's fine without it.. I did do that and in the 3 months it was off I had the "death wobble" 3 different times. Not a fun experience.

Anyhow.. Thanks for the help you guys can give..

Where did you hear that Rubican Express makes this kit for the F250? I checked their website and could not find the kit...

The parts come in that kit.. More specifically. Here are the individual part #'s of what I'm talking about.. You can search by these and see, or look at the 6.5 install instructions and get an explanation about it.

I have the steering stab relocation kit from Rubicon Express on my truck, love it, easy install and works great.

I imagine the kit your after will be equally well constructed.

Someone told you to remove the trackbar? Yikes....

Why does your setup keep breaking- do you have an adjustable bar or a drop bracket for it?

There's quite a few posts here on this site stating for people to remove it and they don't have any issues.. Basically the way old F250's didn't have em so the new ones don't need them. However I want it there..

Yes I have an adjustable on there.. However the bracket was never fixed right so there's strain on it and it keeps breaking..

All because the stupid ex wife drove it into a ditch..
