Default Whats a good 3rd Gen TB Bushing???

I found an '03 Trac Bar for $75 to do the 3rd Gen conversion... but I want to replace the Bushings to have a "like new" Trac Bar...

What is a good, affordable, Proven Bushing that will last in a work truck?

Have you looked at Energy Suspension? They make the Urethane stuff though.

I did... the onhand tech guy was out and the only thing the standin guy could find was the 94-02 application. So I need to call back today to see if they have an 03 application. I don't know what the specs are for the 03 so I need to do some measuring on my 97 and 03 to see if the match. Or he said it may be in their new lineup of products available.

Sure hope I can make this work.

All you need for the track bar is the adapter bracket. I got the whole kit from Solid Steel Industries (03TBK)
Solid Steel.

I've put about 50,000 miles on mine so far. Not a problem. And that is with the OEM 03 track bar too, they didn't have the whiz-bang adjustable-upgraded bushing-unit they sell now.

I am going to get the Bracket... the Trac Bar I am purchasing is from an Auto Salvage and I don't trust the bushings.
