[QUOTE="markfuga, post: 1410755, member: 10964"] You'll need to make your own track bar mount. I high recommend designing the mount exactly like the mount in the 05+ trucks: attaching to the frame AND engine cross member. This is the part of the swap where I've seen a lot of scary implementations. Here's my thoughts: Build a bracket out of heavy steel (I used 3/8 and 5/16 plate), Attach with larger bolts (I used the 05 donor bolts at the frame and three 1/2" bolts at the engine cross member), DO NOT WELD TO THE FRAME! If your not a welder and/or don't have access to heavier steels then I believe there are some after market options out there to buy a bracket. I made a jig when I built mine so I can re-produce it at any time. Take this part of the swap seriously. Think about how much stress that bracket is under when cornering hard. Then add braking into a hard corner and the stress levels multiply many times over. This concludes our safety briefing. [/QUOTE]
