DR.KDSS Track Bar Relocation Bracket for 5th Gen 4Runner - Review

Trackbar Correction Kit (B.O.T.C.K.) – Review (2010-2024)

Lifting a 5th Gen 4Runner changes more than just ride height. The stock panhard bar angle is set up for factory suspension, and once you add lift, that angle is thrown off. The result is an axle that shifts side to side instead of cycling clean, which can make the truck feel unsettled on the road and unpredictable off it.

The DR KDSS Trackbar Relocation Bracket fixes that problem. By raising the axle-side pivot and re-leveling the panhard bar, it brings suspension geometry back in line so the rear end stays centered. For anyone running a lift, this is the piece that makes sure the truck still drives the way it should.

Why You Would Want It

Most brackets included with lift kits are a thin, single-bolt setup that can flex and shift over time. The DR KDSS bracket is built differently, using a wrap-around, double-shear design that ties into the factory mount from multiple sides. Instead of moving under load, it stays locked down and spreads forces across the mount. That means more stability, better handling, and confidence every time you drive.
