go to polyperformance.com you mite have to call they sell a bracket that allowes you to install it and use a stock 03 track bar and while your at it save some of that green!!!
and buy a steering box stabilizer bracket kit, did both on mine 100k ago spent about 350 bucks best investiment yet no more death wobble and no busted off pit man arms,

read my posts on the steering brace.

a broken pitman arm is not normal and not correctable by a steering brace, Nor does it happen very often.

if you dont have a lift than going to the 3rd gen trac bar set up is a good investment as well. you can get the 3rd gen trac bar from auto zone or most of the other carparts places.

got a lukes link on my wifes 1/2 ton works great, had one on my truck a while till i up graded, but its only a patch didnt work as good as they said, cant recommend spending the money for one on a diesel, i think the extra weight of the diesel dosent let it work as good as it should , i had to keep retorqueing it untill i snapped it in half,

well it weird it depends on the crown of the road, if im in the right lane were the crown slopes right then she pulles right, if im in the left lane were the crown slopes left she pulls left but not as much as the right, sometime on a flat rope i dont even have to touch the wheel she drives so streight till i hit a pump then it pulles right again

Which steering stabilizer are you talkin about wantin here. The dampener, the shock mounted on the front axle or the Bar that attaches to both sides of your chasis. Sounds to me like your ready for a new steering dampener here also.
