2014-2024 Ram 2500/3500 4x4 Adjustable Track Bar (CS-DATB-1419)

This Carli track bar for 2014 and newer Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks is a massive upgrade over stock, and hands down the highest quality track bar on the market for the platform. This Carli Suspension Ram track bar is USA made from end to end, and ready for years of flawless service on your truck. The track bar is the most important link under the front end of a straight axle, heavy-duty truck. It?s both a suspension and steering component, and any deflection in the bar or wear in the bushings is immediately felt by the driver in the form of excessive steering input, a floating front end, wandering steering , and last but certainly not least, death wobble. Lifting the truck and increasing the load while pulling the axle off-center completes the recipe for disaster with the stock track bar that uses cheap rubber joints.Enter the Carli Adjustable Track Bar. The goal, a link that deflects less than the stock bar, dampens vibrations without causing the sloppy handling associated with the stock bar, ensures service life far in excess of a factory unit while being rebuildable (vs. replaceable like the factory bar) all while being adjustable to center the axle on leveled vehicles.The frame end of the track bar is where this bar differs from anything else on the market. While almost every other brand uses a cheap rubber or polymer bushing, Carli's ?CUB? joint starts with a proven FK Bearing 7/8" Uniball at its center. Custom molded bushings are pressed on to encapsulate this Uniball, then the assembly is pressed into the huge, gusseted frame-end housing of the track bar with a Stainless safety washer and retained with a snap ring. Custom Misalignment spacers center the joint in frame bracket and ensure full fore and aft movement of the track bar to be possible without bind or excessive bushing deflection. Bushing bars have do deflect to keep up with suspension movement, but this spherical joint offers no restriction to movement. Carli Track Bars are 3/8" wall DOM construction, FAR stronger than the brackets to which they?re bolted. This wall-thickness allows the end of the bar to be threaded to accept Carli's 7/8" x 7/8" FK Bearing Chromoly Heim Joint. You?ll see many manufacturers running thinner wall and weld-in bungs. Running thicker wall bar allows for more strength and one less welded joint ? a potential point of failure. In place of a standard Jam-Nut, Carli developed a tapered jam nut (mating surface similar to a lug nut) to ensure perfect centering of the joint while providing 100% more surface area than a standard Jam-Nut. Carli has taken a design used in off-road racing (Tube with weld-in bungs and jam nuts) and improved it to be FAR more reliable.Lastly, Carli includes a bracket to relocate the factory (or Carli) steering stabilizer. The extended travel of a Carli suspension requires the bend in the bar toward the axle side to clear the bar from the axle bracket at full extension of the suspension. This leads to the bar contacting the stabilizer if not relocated. Most other aftermarket track bars also have this issue, but none address it since most customers don't notice. Carli however goes the extra mile to alleviate any contact. SKU: CS-DATB-1419? Adjustable Track Bar Allows Axle Centering up to 3" of front lift ?
