Tracking arm needed? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys,

So I am in the middle of installing my last c notch and realized that the "tracking arm" (I think that is what its called?) that is connected to the axle to the frame is in the way. So I guess my question is do I really need it? What did you guys end up doing with it? Should I install the notch in and drill a new hole for the tracking arm holder? What is the purpose of that anyways?

Thanks!

the trac bar centers the rear end. the more you lower the frame the more off center the rear end will be. a longer trac bar will be needed if you lowered the truck so you had to install c notches. i used the one from early classic but the porterbuilt i think comes with a new mount that goes to the frame
