He said it was a real struggle to get it to attach. Bottom line, it is not a simple bolt on application in my case. It also cost me another 300.00. But I am glad I have it installed.

Glad to hear you were able get it installed. I think you'll be pleased with the results.

After reading all the responces on the tract bar and the problems on the install,are you going to order one ? pretty expensive too,especially if you pay to have it installed....

I fully intend to have a trac bar installed on my Greyhawk MV at some point. I just need to find the one that will fit (and be well constructed).

I installed Sumo Springs front and rear, made a night and day difference without having to go through the trouble or cost of mounting the Trac bar... Probably not as good but made a huge difference in high winds. Maybe a temporary solution to what you're trying to achieve. Another huge difference was changing out all my shocks to Bilstien.

Did you put the medium or heavy duty Sumo's on the front ?

Medium. They're are extremely helpful and friendly if you call them. They offered to exchange them if I wasn't happy with their recommendation.

I was considering installing the TT2450 on my 2016 Redhawk 26XD so downloaded the install instructions. The latest version from Blue Ox dated 12/12/16 pictures the axle bracket without the side flanges but step 3 in the instructions still say to "install set screws". The older instructions dated 5/20/13 downloaded from etrailer.com that elcheapo referenced, show the flanges. I have to agree that with the amount of lateral force I would be more comfortable with the flanges taking up some of the stress.
I am now looking at the SuperStear SS450. It looks like a better option.

I have a 2019 Redhawk 25R. I’ve added rear firestone ride right airbags and had it properly aligned. Big improvement. I’ve also been looking in to the Super Steer SS450. Does anyone have any updates on this track bar?

[Johnynorthland]

When you added the track bar was the exhaust pipe an issue?
