I haven't tested my Teraflex bar very much yet(once to be exact). I did like the innitial install though, and it looks tough(and is pretty heavy too). I installed it and adjusted it in less than 1/2 an hour. It seems to be holding good so far, I am going to adjust it a little more tonight. My steering wheel seems to still be cocked a 1/8-1/10 of a turn still.

That's true to an extent. However, if the wheel was centered before the lift, and became off center after it was lifted, the track bar is the more correct way to re center the wheel, as well as the only way for the axle. While you can recenter the wheel with the drag link, you will also be reducing the amount of the turning radius in one direction. Of course, it won't be by much, possibly not enough to notice.

WTF? Please explain your theory on this. Do you mean if you re-center your wheel without re-centering the axle?
