Leveled my 2500 a while ago and didn't bother with the extended track bar. Axle has been offset towards driver's side ever since but not enough for me to care. That said, I'm tired of getting death wobble and the most frequent suggestion I see it a better track bar, so I will get an extended one to match my level. Looking at them though, what makes a good one? I've found these two so far, $95 at American Trucks or $364 from BDS. I'll pay whatever for a good one, but there's no need to pay almost 4x the cost if the American Trucks one will work all the same.

Also open to other suggestions as well.

If you only drive to the mall and back and don't anticipate hitting any potholes or other road irregularities, get the one from American Trucks. If it's for the truck in your avatar, choose Core 4x4 or the BDS :33:

Yes, for the one in my avatar. The Core you linked to seems pretty comparable to the BDS.

I found a thread on another site talking about Thuren and Carli. Thuren was $410 if I remember right and Carli was $540. Seems a bit excessive, no way I'll go with one of those. I will likely end up picking between the Core and the BDS hopefully tonight unless someone else has some last minute input.

Thuren Fabrication. The only place I would go for any suspension needs for Ram. Watch Doug Thurens vids on youtube. Guy definitely knows whats up. I installed the 2.75" leveling kit with Fox 2.0 shocks at all corners and Thuren springs with thuren track bar and king shocks steering stabilizer. Truck rides better than a 1/2 ton now. https://www.thurenfabrication.com/

Quick update:

Ended up going with the Core 4x4 one that Dredger suggested. Pic of it laying next to the factory one I pulled off.

Little early to know for sure if it will completely eliminate my death wobble issues, but it does ride noticeable better. Got some pretty terrible roads nearby that used to make the front shudder, and a railroad crossing that was guaranteed D-W every time I went over it above 40mph. Hit it going 60 today and it was like a completely different vehicle. I didn't think it would make such an immediately noticeable difference in ride quality, but it definitely did.
