The factory rear track bar is the only thing locating the GMT800's axle side-to-side — and after 20+ years its rubber bushings are worn, letting the axle wander. Our Camp RTB1 swaps it for 1.5" OD, 5/16" wall DOM tubing — seamless, cold-drawn for tighter tolerances and higher strength — with a forged Rock Jock Johnny Joint at the adjustable end, a poly bushing at the fixed end, and adjustable length to recenter the rear axle after a lift or leveling kit.
The Yukon XL Denali handles long-haul work — heavy loads, big trips, plenty of highway miles. After a couple decades, the rear suspension is showing its age, and the fixed-length arms leave you no way to re-align the rear axle after a lift. You feel it as a clunk under throttle, harshness over expansion joints, and a back end that floats when it's loaded. Switching to Core 4x4 brings the rear back where it should be — with stronger, more durable construction built in.

Tier guide — Cruise (entry, factory-power daily — lifted or not) → Camp (mid, this product) → Crawl (top, extreme off-road, heavy towing, or high-HP builds). Camp is the sweet spot — serious off-road capability without giving up street manners. Step up to Crawl if you're towing heavy or building serious power — Johnny Joints handle that load better than bushings.
Hardware included — Every order ships with the bolts, nuts, and washers you need to install. You don't need to reuse factory hardware or order anything extra. Replacement hardware is available as a standalone HWK SKU if you ever need more.
Pairing tip — This track bar is part of our 5-piece rear suspension kit — step up to the 5-piece kit to add the four rear control arms and re-align the rear axle in every direction.
