ECE Rear kit with ford 9"

I'm just waiting on my ECE rear springs to arrive So I can install my 4/6 drop kit. I have a question though regarding the Track Bar included in the kit. Do I remove the bar installed on my Ford 9" rear end? Sorry for the dumb question but I just wanna make sure before I do the install. Here's some pics for you guys. Thanks

If it comes with a panhard bar then yes you have to replace yours,And being your using a non oem axle you might have to make a mount for it.

If you ordered the super track bar it goes to the trailing arm and not the rear end.

Thanks guys. I will remove the pan hard bar and replace it with the ECE super track bar.

Re: ECE Rear kit with ford 9"

My understanding is the standard long track bars do not clear the housing on a 9". I know CPP makes a "Bent" version that is designed to clear the housing. I used one to clear my larger aftermarket diff cover.

That's interesting. I called the guys over at ECE and asked that specific question before ordering the kit. I was told it would fit. I haven't got to installing it yet.

I would trust them if they told you that.
