Trac-link is a waste.
It is better than stock, but not by much. I had a friend who was trying to sell me on a Trac-link, and took me for a test drive in his car. No big deal, but the whole time telling me about how great it was, blah blah blah. Then we get in my car, which at the time had MM lowers and Maier Racing uppers(no longer produced) that were Heim jointed (no bind). He was blown away. Handled way better than his Global West set up and was a simpler and lighter package.
Save your money for a TA/PHB setup. Then you will feel your money's worth.

It works on the same premise as a TA, but poorly at that.

I wasn't impressed, but if the crossmember isn't too expensive, try it. If it's junk, sell the complete package.

Doesn't the TracLink just bolt to the floor rather than the subframe connectors? Ive heard about people ripping the floor because of the poor design. Just something to think about.

If the correct brackets and reinforcement plates are used, along with being installed correctly, it works great. Me personally, I'd weld in the brackets/plates and attach them to a set of full-length subframes.
FYI, it doesn't require you to remove the upper control arms. This kit is meant to work with them.
