The rod from the front diff going forward to the chassis?
It is a torque rod

Oh i now after rereading it think he is talking about the steering link
But again would not of thought a 2'' lift would of affected it much
Wouldnt thing there would be many aftermarket crowds making adjusfable steering links would make for plenty of law suits as a guess

if you torque rod is too short its probably easier and cheaper if your on a budget to get someone to sleeve it with a bit of tube and lengthen it for you

You probably mean the sway bar or the draglink? Which end of the truck is it on and what does it attach too?
