BD Diesel adj track bars

***ttm*** · 07-30-2011, 12:55 PM

- is the bd diesel a good track bar?, I'm putting 37 12.50 on this dually and with the 2.5" level kit the track bar is a hair short, might as well do it right now.
update, well I decided not to wait, I went down to summit, they priced matched for me so it was down to 308, I will install it tomorrow, wow the truck handled funny at highway speeds after the 2.5" front lift, this truck was real stable before. anyhow I can get it aligned now with the track bar installed anyhow, tic toc, wow the clock moves slow when you want to get something new on your truck <g>

Update again, track bars are piece of cake install we all know that,

Unless of course.... the bolt you take out, is partially stripped, you don't have a die that size, you don;t have the durn tap, and no place to get a bolt that size, let alone the nut..... and I have two snap on, tap and die sets! metric, and the ones that SHOULD BE ON A AMERICAN MADE VEHICLE! <grin>

wow repairing that bolt with a thread file was work! anyhow here is the update on the tire install

'06 4wd dually larger tires

thanks, I will get it on the truck tonight, I was looking for some formula to get a real close length on it..., i will measure the stock one eye to eye, and this one after it is aligned and post that info ayhow

when i put my stock bar in after level kit it was off by a little over a bolt hole so when i got the bd i lengthened it by that much. then kinda eyeballed with the body lines. it was reall close when i took it to the alignment shop.

my coffee almost hit the keyboard, funnest perhaps, but useful? well we are all kids at heart i guess<g>

I only prank my friends with it but as far as useful it has definitely saved me a few times with people switching lanes or pulling out in front of me without paying attention.
