I am looking for a rear trac bar to stop the tail wagging the dog. Unfortunately, I really don't see much out there. Who is running what and where did you get it? Searches in this forum only bring up OLD posts and Internet searches don't show much besides Henderson and now Blue Ox. Anyone know if CW sells a rear trac bar(for pricing comparison)? Their website only shows front ones.
Thanks

I would give a call to Brazil's RV in Centralia, WA. Or Erics RV In Sequim, WA.
Both have web sites, also Redlands truck & RV in Redlands CA. They also have a web site.
They all sell and will ship The Hendersons supersteer rear track bars.

It's great if you need it and I did. I knew immediately when I took my first corner that the track bar was making a BIG difference. It was my first suspension modification and just about the most noticeable. I am indeed not disappointed after all these years with the ownership of my track bar.

When my W-22 was almost new I bought from Henderson their SS302 RTB. Today, I would just call Brazels if I needed another RTB. ED

Mike,
Just 50 miles from Fullerton is Redlands Truck and RV Performance Center. Call (909) 792-0314 and ask for Keith Shomaker. Great people and great service. Tell Keith that Bill (Duner) sent you.

They are very nice people to work with and most importantly honest.

All, thanks for the recommendations. I was goin to order one through my normal parts guy and it was a Blue Ox one. BUT, he would have to order it and it would not come in until next week. I have a 3 day weekend this weekend and I didn't want to miss this opportunity to install it. My projects ALWAYS take much longer than I planned and we don't see much free time in our calendar coming up. SO I gave Redlands RV a call and I will drive out there and pick one up tomorrow. I had GREAT luck and a wonderful experience with them previously.
Oh, and Driver, I saw your article but now all the pictures are missing.

I'd have to go to my archives to restore all the pictures.

That sounds like more work than it is worth. Oemtec has a couple of GREAT shots on his site.
Besides, based on Dale's recommendations in his installation notes, I get to buy a new 1/2" impact driver. WEEEE... a new tool.. Gotta love that.
I got one good hint from Jesse (So Cal Workhorse Rep) for the installation. Once it is all set up, add 1/8" more compression in the bar before tighetning everything down. Makes sense to me to ensure there is essentially no play and allows the track bar to do it's job. Anyone else have any other helpful hints on installation? It looks pretty straight forward to me.

That's funny....Jesse's hand's are a clean the day they were made,how would he know...LOL  If you load the bar sideways you may create a slight tracking problem,so install it at zero tension.
