Default Track Bar Help

I need to order a new track bar and track bar mounting bracket. Both of mine are bad. The problem that I am having is that all the track bars and brackets I've found are for lifts over 4in. I have a 3in lift, so does anybody know where I can get a track bar and mounting bracket that won't cost an arm and a leg???

I've seen tons of track bar replacement options, even for stock rid height. I'd suggest you keep searching. I don't remember if it was from 4x4 or quadratech, I've got both next to the can...

3" of lift,you can go with stock.
Mines a 3" and still has the stock trackbar.
I just replaced it with a new one from Autozone for $40 I think it was.
The bracket most likely will have to come from a Salvage Yard.

How much is an arm and a leg going for these days? I know for me, I'm constantly checking the "For Sale" sections on my favorite forums. Some guys sell their stuff cheap and usually all it needs is a new bushing or heim. The bracket on the other hand...like Caish said JY maybe.

you can do what I did and take one for a bigger lift and chop some of the threads off so it works
