Rear track bar question....
#11
Do you have adjustable control arms on your 4.5" lift? Might need to adjust your castor/pinion. I bought synergy high clearance arms but didn't notice I need brackets too. When I accelerate it pulls left and braking pulls right.

With hydro i wouldn't worry about a sector shaft. Also i dont personally see the need for a crc but some will argue its great. I'd get those front parts that are claimed to be bad and see after that.

Theres some good suggestions here. I am going to leave the track bar off for now but add front lower control arms instead. I'll see how the rear end behaves after getting my height back, replacing the front and the alignment. If its still moving round in the back Ill add the CRC then..

I still have the stock control arms and am running the AEV drop brackets that have limited adjustability, so I assume its not great (The way it drives tells me castor has to be off). I want to do long arms in another 6-8 months so the LCA's will be temporary to dial in the Castor. I am basically replacing the entire front end and with the Arms dialing in Castor so hopefully it will be a new rig. I am also throwing on some Rancho adjustable 9000's because I hate how hard these Bilsteins ride (Cant afford the King Adjusatbales yet). Once I get it back I will determin the next steps, but since my first wheeling trip will be at the end of the month, Ram Assist is on the Agenda fro next month. This is defitniley a covert opp from the wife!

I would not bother with the CRC link but if you want to spend the money on it thats up to you. A properly set up track bar will do basically the same thing nearly eliminating axle steer when the suspension articulates. Post up some photos of your suspension and steering at ride height so we can see just what you have and any issues that may stand out.

You can see that the back is sagging because of the weight of the wheel/tire (1.125"). Outside of that I dont know if you can tell anything by the pics?

Looks upside down to me as well. Looks like too much bump stop in the rear too. Did you just put on what was in the kit or did you check your clearances first?
