- This video shows the detailed installation of an adjustable track bar including removal of the old one, set-up / preparation of the new one, and installation. This is part of a series of videos showing the installation of a Carli / King suspension / lift kit on 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. With in the video are tips and tricks, description of tools used, and detailed information.
My track bar has different length bushings spacers. One is wider length and the other one is shorter distance spacer on both ends. Which way is the longer spacer should be facing on both ends? I worked all day today on the truck in 100f heat. Got the Carli shocks and springs in. Torqued and aligned the tre track bar. Just confused about the spacer bushings that go inside the ball joints in which order.
I'll take a look and let you know as soon as I can
Do you have pictures of the spacers you can send. Also I do have video on the rest of the suspension installation if that helps. Let me know. Can text me too. 9205699202.
Do you the measurement for stock height. Thx
Should be the same length as the stock one under those circumstances. Let me know if you don't have the original to measure against and I should have some time on Wednesday to take a look and get that exact number to you. Thanks for checking it out.

Qual a medida da extensao da barra, do centro de um parafuso a outro, considerando um lift de 2 polegadas?
In my case since everything was sold as a kit so the company did the calculation for me, but in your case I believe the best way to do it is to have the vehicle at ride height/on the tires under its own weight & measure from mounting point to mounting point/center-to-center and that should give you your number.
I think the best method is to align the front axle offset (equal) with the rear axle. With my front 2” lift with Thuren springs, the change in front axle offset was a 1/2” axle movement from driver’s side to passenger side. My track bar is adjustable when installed, so with the front tires on folded plastic garbage bags with the weight of the truck on the ground, the lateral adjustment was easy to make whether the chassis, the axle or both move.
This alignment process compensates for any frame or axle mounting point misalignment or other issues. Setting a fixed track bar length prior to installation may not be accurate for each vehicle.
Great how to video.
I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for checking it out. Channel still pretty new so be a lot more in the future
