iv already got trac bars im just wondering if it will make a difference if the truck is lifted or not?

Depends on how much it is lifted/leveled if you need aftermarket track bar. All solid front axle ford and dodge have them OEM since Dana is the manufacturer. If its lifted a lot then an adjustable is needed.

i think he is asking about traction bars(ladder bars) instead of a trac bar. but i might be wrong.
OP i'm not sure but i don't see why not

true i mean ladder bars they are just called different things all over the country.

LOL. Well all three are much different from each other.

To the OP.
Track bar is mounted parallel to the front axle to prevent bump steer
Traction bars usually attach to bottom of leaf springs and help with axle wrap by a rubber stop that hits close to the front shackle of the rear leaf spring.
Ladder bars also are for axle wrap and pretty much eliminate it, by adding brackets to the axle and the frame for a ridgid/rough ride.
