Being fine-tuned over the last 5 years, Thuren Fabrication's track bar makes a huge difference in steering and suspension feel. Add a lift, bigger tires, or some performance suspension components, and it becomes one of the best handling improvements you can make. Feedback through the wheel becomes almost nonexistent, and overall suspension and steering performance and safety is improved.
Each bend is precisely placed and designed to reduce flex, which is one of the biggest factors contributing to bad performance from other units. Thuren uses DOM tubing for its resilient qualities(unlike Chromoly), being that some flex IS going to happen, with such a heavy vehicle weight. Contrary to what you may think, any defection in the trackbar bushings reduces ride quality and safety, along with ADDING to road feedback.
Being the first track bar to market for the 3rd gen Rams, specifically designed to combat Death Wobble and improve handling and safety, you know you will get the best possible product. While Death Wobble can be a tough situation to combat, as the trackbar alone is not the only source, it is usually the first place to start.
2003-2007.5 trucks will use a 14mm bolts, while 2008-2013 trucks will use a 16mm bolt. Please note that 2013 is a split year. 2500 trucks will use this bar, but 3500 trucks will use the 14+ track bar design so you must order accordingly.

Note: From 2003 to approximately 2007.5, these trucks used 14mm(shank size) bolts on both ends of the Trackbar. Then around the middle of 2007, some trucks were coming with a 14mm bolt on the frame side and a 16mm bolt on the axle side.
If you have a 2003-2007 truck and you're unsure if you have mismatched hardware, you should purchase the above 2008-2013 option with hardware included, and plan to possibly drill out the mounting flange(s) to a bigger 5/8"(16mm) hole.
Regardless, If you have a 2003-2007 truck, we highly recommend you upgrade to the 2008-2013 option with hardware included, as the 14mm OEM hardware is engineered too small in our opinion.

Assembled Trackbar (x1)
33mm Crowfoot Tool (x1)
