Thinking of upgrading my trackbar, Carli or Thuren?
Howdy,
Looking to tighten up the front end on my truck, both bars seem top notch, is one better than the other for the price difference?
My truck that is a street queen 90% of the time with some mild/slower offroad exploring, I will be doing some overland shocks at the same time (truck has 43K).

I'm extremely happy with my Thuren set up. Beat the hell out of it zero issues

Re: Thinking of upgrading my trackbar, Carli or Thuren?
I second the Thuren. I haven't tried the Carli so don't have it to compare to, but I've had my Thuren for over a year and zero issues with it. Death wobble was gone when I added it, and has never returned. Very well built pieces of metal.

I have all Thuren stuff. Hit a wash out hard enough to bend the axle housing and crack the pumpkin. All Thurens part were not harmed. His axle truss is going on the new one.

I only do what the majority of the 4 voices in my head tell me to. In most cases, I ignore two of them because one doesn't speak English, and I suspect the other is talking to someone else.

I chose Thuren and never looked back! Been a great addition to my truck and no issues what so ever.
