Update....
I have a new fuel pump, have new windshield wiper bushings but this cold weather won't give.
Also doing some way over do upgrades to the track bar and mount with the help of escort_gts so stay tuned.

Ordered the parts, but taking forever to get to me, at least the track bar mount from ballistic fab is but all have shipped none the less.

Would have made one but buddy had a few personal things to take care of and I'm running out of time and don't have time to wait for all the things to ship to me.

Good luck on the track bar mount I ordered coil buckets, I waited till they were in stock called them asked if it qualified for 48 hr shipping guarantee, after a week I called and they weren't shipped out. There fault, second week I called again and they weren't made, it would take a week, third week I called and they will ship out tommorow, then I proceeded to call everyday until I received them, it took a month and a half, luckily I didn't need them, but I'll never order from them again

I have the fed ex shipping confirmation number from ballistic and the UPS tracking number from rough country. I bet the track bar beats the ballistic mount. The truck can still go wheeling, haven't kept it from doing that yet but I can't wheel as hard either.
Now that I remember, back in 2010 I offered parts from them, and as excellent of quality as they are, it took two weeks ti get to me. Guess everything is always on back order with them.

I would have done rustys but their bracket didn't drop enough.

Rough country. Cheaper and came with a mount that I might be abke to use with some mods.
Question is, does it matter which end the bushing or heim is on m I know the instructions say to put the bushing on the frame mount but the factory track bar bushing is on the axle? Also why did it come with one grade 8 bolt and the other is grade 5?

Hmm I would put the bushing side on the axel personally. And get another grade 8 bolt.
How wide is that bracket? Would it accept that heim with bushings?
