Default DT Profab Adjustable Trac Bar. Anyone Run It?

Thoughts or comments about this bar? I've talked to Don Thuren, who is a great guy, but he's backlogged for a few weeks. I kinda need it now.

I ran it and liked it alot. it can be adjusted while still on and there is no welding. Dons is a good bar but can do the above and has to be welded.

when My heim wore out (2 yrs) I replaced it with a really strong poly bushing that Don makes. Just ask him he will know what you're talking about. After doing that the truck seemed to ride better than with the heim. I'm not a big fan of Heim joints for DD. they dont ride as nice

Thats not necessarily true...with a Thurenfab trackbar on a second gen, thats lifted under 3" it does not need to be welded.

Under 3" of lift: Thuren Fabrication - 0-3" lift track bar

5+" of lift requires the welded brace: Thuren Fabrication-Dodge track bar

Well to take this a step further, I welded the bracket on for my DT also. I'm sure the bolts would have worked fine but I overkill everything I do.

I have Don's bar, can't say enough about it, I greased up the uniball before I installed it just to be safe, and its been well worth the money.
