Default 5'' Lift Track Bar Options?

Right now I have a drop braket I guess you can call it for the track bar that came with my 5'' lift so you can still use the stock bar, well this setups sucks and the braket keeps comeing loose and what not, Ive tried everything and its just a stupid setup so I was wondering if there is a track bar out there that will make it so I can **** can the drop braket and go to the stock location on the frame.

Thanks in advance.

are you running a drop pitman arm??? this makes a difference wether you want to go back to your stock mount or not, if your trac bar and steering aren't in the same plane you will get a nice case of bump steer.....

I believe someone out there makes an adjustable track bar. I'm not sure where though, hopefully someone chimes in with a link.
