Traction Bar Pics

[Iceman56]

Post up some pics of your traction bars please. Whether you made them or bought them.

I am gonna make my own tomorrow I just want some ideas of how they are supposed to be mounted to the frame and the axle. I really don't have much of an idea, never seen them in person.

Thanks for any help
Mike

But I was gonna make mine about 70 to 80 inches long (these are just gonna be on for pulling and racing).

Anyone have a pic or an idea to mount them on the frame underneath the front doors? I would rather not weld

For racing the traction bars should be pointing up higher than the centerline of the truck to push the rear up and the front down(anti-squat) This helps plant the front tires(4x4 only).

The way shown above may be good for pulling(I'm not a puller), but not for the drag strip. That way the rear is trying to lift the front, not press it down.

Look into some software describing centerline/anti-squat/suspension. This will show you the way Mike.

what kind of bars does Maxxed out have on her??

[eyecatcher01]

so if i want to minimize axle wrap in sand or dirt when rear wheels slip i would need a bar that transfers pressure to rear axle thus lift towards front axle? i am guessing the caltracts accomplishes this? i hate that chattering...pisses me off. is a set of caltracts the best way to lessen this?
