Default Track Bar Question-Need Opinions

Looking to purchase front/rear adj. track bars. I was curious if any of you have any experience with the following brands or had any recommendations.

Superlift
Black diamond
Rusty's

They are all in the $130 range. Is the quality OK or is it worth it to go with the more expensive brands like TF or JKS?

I have the Black Diamond front and rear. No experience with other brands, but the BD's seem beefy enough and are easy to adjust.

BTW - Black Diamond = Superlift (exact same part).

Thanks for the info. I was VERY close to going with the Tera bars, but had a coupon for 4WD.com (forgot about it). So, I went with Full Traction front and rear. $324.00 for both. Never bought anything FT before, so we'll see.

Also ordered the Daystar dash, Pro Comp light bar, Mopar slush (floor) mats and Mopar side step/rails. It was an expensive night for me

I saw they had a pro comp adjust front track bar. Let me know how you like the FT as I'm planning on getting a set also and I'm leaning to the Ft heavy duty.

I saw the Pro Comp too. I have had 2 Pro Comp lifts in the past on 2 Silverado's and they were great, no problems. I just wasn't too sure about the angle of the Pro Comp track bar. Maybe it's better, who knows, I do know that the Full Traction is gusseted around the end joints and appears beefier. I'll let you know how they work out.

Thanks as I think this is what WOL is running or maybe it's the lift kit all together.

I like the teraflex bars. they look tough and very well made. Probably won't be what I use, but I like the way they look.

Which rear trackbar bracket did you have?


What was loose on the front track bar?

To be honest, you get what you pay for. In my opinion, you can not go wrong with any of Teraflex's products. They have some really beefy track bars that you will never go wrong with and will never regret buying!!!
