Often Overlooked Suspension Mod - Bolt On Track Bar Correction Kit (From Dr KDSS) for Land Cruiser 250/GX550

This is a modification I also did on my 5th Gen 4Runner so I knew I had to do it on the LC250 as well.

From Dr Kdss's website here's why you want a BOTCK...
"When you lift a solid axle that has a track bar (aka panhard bar )depending on the lift height, the angle of that trac bar becomes so steep, that any natural cycling of the axle will cause a feeling of being unstable. The reason for this is the trac bar being so angled, it forces the axle to swing left and right under the vehicle vs the axle cycling up and down. To remedy this issue, you want to raise (or lower frame side ) the pivot point on the axle so that the trac bar is parallel or as close to parallel to the ground / axle. With the trac bar in this configuration , the natural cycling of up and down is returned (for the most part , once you start to add a lot more travel ie long travel , things start to swing out again)" Regardless , this will still be beneficial to having vs not having."

For $215 I feel like it's worthwhile and I noticed a difference with it in my 4Runner being installed vs not.

Here's the link if you want to get one for your lifted LC250.
