Default 3rd Gen Track Bar

Ive always heard about a 3rd gen track bar conversion but never looked into it. Is there a kit out there or something?

i think you just have to drill out where your old track bar was to fit the larger bolt.
you might ask Doug newenglandturbodieselpower.com he did the conversion.

i thought about it the decided against it and went with a stock track bar

Do NOT waste youre money on a stock track bar. You dont need to do third third gen conversion you just need to get yourself a good bar:

He makes good stuff but just a quick bit of info on his products. He doesn't make a bar for the early 94s' (like mine) w/ the smaller bolt. If your not blessed with one of these then your gravy.

And from what I found nobody makes a bar for the early 94s' so your stuck with the stock bar or the Solid Steel Conversion Kit.

I went with the solid steel 3rd gen kit w/ adjustable track bar and haven't regretted it. Did have some problems getting everything lined up (axle wanted to sit off-center). Bracket bolts up w/o any problems. They recommend using the bushing but again they don't supply one for the smaller bolt trucks and I priced one getting made and decided it could live w/o it.
