This kit does not include a drop pitman arm or track bar bracket because the track bar on these trucks is approximately 8″ longer and the drag link 6 ” longer than that of the 99-04 SD. This increased length reduces the operating angles (post lift) to less than that of most 99-04 Superduty leveling kits. The inclusion of an adjustable track bar is of more value than an unnecessary bracket. Some companies do things simple because that is the way things have always been done without thinking of the geometry behind them. The larger DR kits do include a track bar bracket and pitman arm in order to maintain the proper geometry.
