Product Details
Track Bar Bracket for 2.5" and 3.5" Lifted Vehicles (67-2538) by ReadyLIFT®. Quantity: 1 per Pack. Engineered to provide the right amount of track bar relocation to correct axle position and track bar steering geometry on level and lifted Super Duty trucks. Direct bolt on - No modifications required. Owners who have lifted the front suspension more than an inch may notice that the truck steers on its own - and not in a good way. Fix that with this dropped track bar bracket. The ReadyLIFT Track Bar Bracket is built like the stock bracket - it's stout cast iron.

Raising a truck changes many subtle things in the steering. One effect is to change the angle of the front track bar (sometimes referred to as a Panhard rod). This bar goes from one side of the truck's frame to the opposite side of the axle housing. It's what keeps the front axle from moving from side to side, instead of only up and down like it's supposed to. Normally, it's almost horizontal, so the axle doesn't move back and forth, left and right as the truck moves up and down on the suspension. But when you lift the truck, the track bar tilts upward on the frame end while the axle end stays put. This has two effects: the first is to pull the axle to the side, putting the truck out of thrust line alignment. That will make the steering wheel slightly off-center when you're moving straight ahead. Perhaps more noticeable is a left-right steering effect as the axle moves up and down. Moving the frame-side pivot down in relation to the body - closer to where it started before the body was lifted - will minimize both of these effects.
This bracket was developed by ReadyLIFT as a component of their lift kits, but is now available as separate piece. Manufactured from cast iron, it's e-coated for a long-lasting finish. It attaches to the factory mounting points with the factory hardware.
Henderson NV is smack in the middle of a lot of off-roading activity. That's where ReadyLIFT® is based, in order to be close to their customers and their needs. About 12 years ago, ReadyLIFT founder and CEO Scott Poncher realized that there was a market for people who wanted to lift their trucks only a few inches, not the six inches or more that most lift kits were set up to do. A few inches were enough to make the truck's stance level (instead of drooped down in front, as seems to be common today), or to accommodate slightly larger wheels and tires. There was no option for these customers that didn't raise the truck more than necessary, was easy to install and reasonably priced. And so ReadyLIFT was born to bring a line of reasonably-priced, but still highly-engineered and well-made moderate-rise lift kits to market.
