Rear Trac Bar for 1995 F-53??

I see all sorts of trac bars for the rears of 1998 and up F53's, but not the 1994, 1995, or 1996.

Anybody have any ideas?

I can find one for the FRONT (Saf T Plus) but what about the rear? There was Davis Tru Trac and Blue Ox but they are 1998 and up :(

I've used the search on here and googled for 3 hours and can't find anything.
  • Back in 2004,I managed to buy a rear track bar for a 1996 Newmar on a Ford F53 chassis (and it helped the stability). I purchased from a company named "P & E Industries", but a google search for P & E industries just now didn't find much.

    There are several plans for making your own that can be found.

    My experience was that the rear track bar helped a lot more than the front track bar, and I installed both.

  • The rear spring stack on older (460) F53s is more like a truck and didn't allow for excessive lateral rear end movement. A rear track bar is not needed. I made the mistake of installing a read track bar on my 95 F53 and it made no difference in handling. Use the money saved to take your wife out on the town.

  • Go to a good welding shop and tell them what you want. They can make it better and cheaper. I made all my own front and rear for under 120.00 $.
