I dont think anyone mentioned it yet - but if you install a drop bracket for your track bar, you really need to install a dropped pitman arm. (please correct me if I'm wrong on this). Without the dropped pitman arm, then your track bar and drag link will be at different angles, and you'll get "bump steer". So if you really want a drop bracket, that's an extra expense to figure in.
From what I can tell in the picture of Clayton's trackbar, looks like they have a "Johnny joint" on the frame-end of the bar. For this type of application, I think that's the best type of joint you can have (better life-span and less vibration than a heim joint, and better articulation than a bushing), plus it's rebuildable. You won't find that type/quality of joint on a rancho track bar.
