I just couldn’t get the %#@!$% adjustable track bar to work correctly in *%$#*@ stock position. So I had to take off my %$#@!* trailering arm and fabricate a bracket to mount a track bar in a similar position to the ECE kit. It *%$#@% sucks to have to take a grinder to and weld an already painted part. Now I just have to fab an %#@!&* 11" longer track arm. I would have bought the ECE kit but the bracket for the trailer arm would not work with my C-notch. Sorry...I just had the releive some stress before I take a hammer to my truck

Are you sure that is going to work with the c-notch???

@Slammed67
yes, I already tested it. I remember seeing the picture of your set up when you had the problem with the c-notch and the trackbar. The diffrence is the diff sits on top of 2" block with the welded tabs, so when the top of the axle housing bottoms out on the c-notch those tabs are still under the frame. Its basicly in the same postion as when you welded the tabs to the trailering arm. The ECE brackets put the bar along side the axle housing. Mine is sitting below the axle housing just like yours. (thanks for the tip)

Here is a picture if it on the truck, sorry but I already have the springs on it so I cant take a picture of it bottomed out. Those red lines represent where the frame and c-notch would be in the bottomed out position. The picture sucks because of the flash. Makes me wish I had painted my frame the satin black like yours.
