1-link seems to be all the rage lately. Simple, relatively cheap and if setup properly works very well.

search pirate for all you could ever need on 1-links, DON'T USE TRAILER BALLS!!!

Keep the main link as flat as possible for the best geometry. There is a joint that was designed with the one link in mind, has a lifetime warranty against breakage too.

This 3" cartridge joint from BallisticFab would work pretty well too.

I made one for a guy and used a trailer ball. He ran it for two years with no major problems. I am making one again for him(sold the truck) this week. I used a 30,000 # ball and milled two pieces of steel to make a clam shell. I will see if he has any pics of it. The only proble that he had was the frame strength where the track bar located. He later boxed the frame in and added some gussets
