I just replaced my 4" front leaf springs with some procomp 6.5 inch leaf springs. I got the springs on fine and tightened it all up but the trac bar is not long enough? and its very hard to move close to connecting it. Correct me if im wrong but I believe I am talking about the track bar. I have a picture included. Help please???? its like its just a little short.

You need to upload the picture to a gallery online to hotlink it in.

But that sounds right that the trac bar is too short. Some guys force it in either using a come along or by turning the wheel while parked (axle will shift under the truck).
Or an adjustable trac bar will make the installation go much smoother.

Never ever use any method of pulling the axle over to install a track bar. Either get a correct drop bracket or-and a adj track bar.

I'm a newb to trucks and just installed a 2.5" lift. Even I knew it sounded just stupid to force the axle over 1/2" to make it fit. It costs more, but it's done right. And the Icon bar looks nice.
