    I missed this but the top mount on the rear and in the front do not require the steel sleeve in the bushing the bottom does need the bushing since it has a bolt to mount it. if the top does not go on check the mount to be surre the sleve from the old shock didnt come out.

    Trac Bar for Early 99' F250 Superduty

    It should hold but i would check it from time to time. a large jar or bump could pull it out. the main purpose it to help keep the axle centered. but the leaf springs do a pretty good job of that. And if need be you could always sleeve it like i mentioned with a 30" piece of tubing < you...

    Trac Bar for Early 99' F250 Superduty

    Sounds like that will work fine for you. I suppose you could have did the same with the track bar in the tubing but cut the tubing in half and weld in a chunk of threaded rod into each halve and used a adjusting sleeve. I was always going to just bringa track bar in to work and cut it in...

    Bilstein shocks and steering stabilizer

    yes i did mean the 5100s. and your refering to the HDs as the yellow and blue shocks correct. for a single stabilizer you need a non gas/nitrogen filled shock or it will force the steering to the left. but with a dual opposing shocks they will work against each other. dual stabilizers are...

    Bilstein shocks and steering stabilizer

    you can run the standard bilsteins for a steering stabilizer but you have to do them in a dual format and they have to be opposing as they are gas charged rough country has a generic 5100 look a like you can use in a single application
