Re: Rear adjustable trac bar
Measure the distance of the wheels to the frame. Make it the same on both sides.

Re: Rear adjustable trac bar
Here is a link to some photos and a write up from when I installed mine in my Burban. It may help you even though the photos are from above. Scroll down to post 513.
Good luck with the installation. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...698377&page=21

Re: Rear adjustable trac bar
I haven't undertaken this yet. Is the new track bar shorter or longer than the stock bar?

Re: Rear adjustable trac bar
It's adjustable. However, it will end up being shorter if it was connected to the same position. Most use the stock top pivot and a relocated bottom connection.

Re: Rear adjustable trac bar
The short story is the longer the rod is the less side movement there is when the suspension is compressed or loaded.
