sorry but thats not what you want. and on top of that im pretty sure the newer set up is not re greasable......

Yes the crossover is sweet but if you look the new setup is a solid bar all the way across which is a way better setup. All the Carli guys run it and Thuren himself recommends it as he likes the setup.

Does this new linkage work with mag-hytec front diff pans? Judging by by the looks it might be a problem.

I would check to see if magtec has different cover for the 08.5 years and up as this is thier linkage.

wait, so are you saying that the newer setup in the 1st post is a solid bar all the way across. because it doesn't look like it to me...........

...on the other hand , don's thuren's setup is a true solid tie rod.....

....is that what you meant.

new oem setup

don thurens

as you can see with the pic's its not a true solid set as far as the OEM setup vs don's....thurens is what you want.

Having installed this myself I can positively confirm that the lower bar is a solid bar all the way across with the tie rods at each end. The old setup had the tie rod ends on two different bars. Look closely at the first post and you will see the difference, there is a reason why everyone is changing to this as well as why Dodge made the change in the first place.

Are the joints on the 09 setup greasable or is it as worthless as the original setup?

Dom,

Do you have a MH front diff cover? I see in your sig you do. If so, no problems with the Thuren track bar and the MH diff?

Thanks

you know what, it did kinda scuff it up. i took it out to pismo beach and practically lauched the front end and bottom'd out pretty good. The cover made contact w/ thurens track bar and i even have a 6'' lift.... but its held up pretty good. definately still better then the stock.
