For input on a adjustable track bar, the skyjacker one I bought is great. I like it, so far nothing is wrong and the directions for setting it up is pretty good. If you don't want to do that I have a 5" track bar drop bracket I didn't use, it's a Zone one. Great looking truck man!

Thanks man! I'll let you know. Hopefully someone can take a look at those pictures and give me some insight on what I have, aND what I should do to improve on it

I see stacked blocks....I'd get those replaced with either 5" or 7" blocks. Which ever lift height you go with. Those are a no no, stacked blocks that is. Drop pitman arm for the steering box as well.

That kit is screaming Rough Country at me but maybe its just me. Definitely need to address the rear lift at some point, depending how much you wheel the truck. If you dont leave it for the minute but I'd def look into swapping that block for an add a leaf. I would definitely look into an adjustable track bar as Lifted01 suggested. Again down the road though, you've got bigger things to address like getting the front end in working order, getting your new steering box in and removing the body lift.

I see 5" suspsion lift and 3" body lift. As posted sj DTBA27 track bar. You have a drop pitman arm already but only for 3"-5". As posted stacked blocks need to go.

Merc , you think I should get that adjustable track bar? Or are you saying it's installed on the truck already?

You have a stock bar with drop bracket on it currently

Sorry for the confusion, yes the sj DTBA27 is a replacement for the **** ball and socket track bar you have now. Me yes i would say get one u will end up saving money in the long run.

I'd like to replace the bushings on the steering stabilizers , just to start. They look to be sway bar end link sized bushings. Anyone have any input?

Ditch the stabilizers all together. They are absolutely useless and I still cannot understand why manufacturers waste cash on them.

As posted ditch the dual ss no need for them at all. When it comes to the sway bar try it without make your own choice if you need it or not.
