D30 brackets

I don't really keep up with fab parts. I need to replace some of the brackets on my HP30 and haven't found exactly what I need. This is what it looks like now:



There is a crack in the weld on the trackbar bracket, so that needs to be replaced. I would like to find one with a steering stabilizer bracket strong enough to mount a ram on if I should ever decide to.

As I was looking at the housing, I noticed the right spring pad also has issues. The spring has broken through and it looks like it sits ~1/2" lower than the left. The shock is not attached to the back of the pad, like stock, so that isn't necessary. It does need to fit between the swaybar link and truss. Any recommendations?

Poly Performance ( http://polyperformance.com ) has stronger replacement brackets for the D30. Not sure if they will handle a ram, but it's a place to start.

I checked out Poly Performance. I didn't like their track bar bracket. It looks like it mounts higher and further to the right than stock, and is made for rod ends. It also does not provide a place for a steering stabilizer.

I found these at Dynatrac. Looks like stock replacements, but thicker. I wonder how difficult to make them fit my D30 or since they seem to be for their larger D44 tubes.
