Default Track bar kit ?

hey, guys so I was surfing the other day and came across a track bar kit... never heard of this before. It is an addition to a leveling kit. I guess installing a leveling kit 2-3 inch can cause track bar end links to lose the stock and proper position (straight up and down). I was told not all trucks will have problems, but some do and in the case where they do you need this kit to reposition the front suspension in its stock location. My end links are straight up and down, however the tops of both are bent towards the springs above the bushings I am posting to see if anyone else with a leveling kit has experianced this also. Maybe someone knows why and a way to fix it other than beefier end links. FYI my leveling kit is a rough country 2.5 thanks for any imput

It is quite common for end links to wear. The sway bar end links on the 2000-2009 4WD 2500/3500 (Diesel and HEMI) are prone to wearing or pounding out, and, even breaking when the truck is lifted on 2-post vehicle lifts due to the stress of the axel dropping. This can heppen even under some mild to hard core 4X4ing.

BD's Sway Bar End Links have a Dual Pivot Design that allows for greater amount of articulation and less stress. Long life Urethane bushing design allows for greater flex without breaking and will not pound out or seize due to the elements. Things that even the competition would be envious of.

Are you referring to the trac bar? Or the sway bar links?
