Nice fabrication build, solid joints, and good hardware/tubing selection.

Those look really nice! Great work

Thanks guys, Happy Holidays All the best in the new year. ✌🏻👍❄ 🤏 ⛄ 🇨🇦 😎.

Not only are these the best bolt on traction bar brackets I’ve seen, but the bar/end combo is also top notch. I’m pleasantly surprised to see how you have them priced too. Definitely gonna be picking up a set in the spring

Been looking for a set of bars for my 08 6.7. And have loved all your videos. Think I found where I'm getting em!

Awesome! This looks like a very nice setup 👍🏻

Clarification on recommended adjustment for different applications would be helpful for people

Just installed this kit last weekend! Very nice design and install only took about 2hrs.

HEY WHERE DO YOU GET THEM AT I NEED SETS FOR MY TRUCK LET ME KNOW PLEASE

Happy holidays boys will these work on a truck with a lift and what is the cost

What’s the tube length for your 2006-2009 MegaCab?

Do you make traction bars for the 1500 2wd trucks?

I have a 2014 3500 Crew Cab w/ 6’4 bed length SRW lifted 5 inches - will these work and in what configuration do I use when ordering on your website?

Could also run 1/4” thick rubber mating between the axles and bolt on brackets to help eliminate extra noise transferred up the frame and help them stay tight and in place. Looking forward to getting a set for my truck

The delrin bushing in the joint is supposed to help with that already.

Ordered a set of traction bars in March of 2021 from a certain company that will remain nameless, let’s just say I haven’t gotten them yet and also struggle to get in touch with said company. I think I’m going to get my money back and order these instead.

May seem kinda stupid, but could you flip the axle brackets "upside down" and mount the bars on the high side and still get the same effect? Just a thought for being able to "hide" the bars a bit for a more sleeper appearance

@haydenbriggs

Жыл бұрын

Late response so maybe you have an answer. But that would still help alittle with axle wrap. But with the geometry and physics. Axle wrap would still be an issue if you mount it to the top. Mounting it to the bottom will prevent or minimize the axle from pivoting while on power.

what was the drill and drill bit for?? what size drill bit.......? thanks

How do you ensure the axle does not twist inside the axle bracket? Are you onlu relying on the clampng force of the bolts?

There are small teeth on the inside edge of the bracket that bite into the tube. We have tested this on a truck all summer and it has been hooked to a sled a few times and we haven't had any issues with them moving.

Do all traction bars have to be that long out of curiosity ground clearance wise

We've used this tubing for quite a while and haven't ever had any bend. Chromoly tubing is significantly stronger than mild steel DOM tubing. To give you an idea of the difference, when building a roll cage NHRA requires .120 wall DOM where if you use Chromoly you can use .085 wall tubing.

Can you build a set yourself for $300 yes, but you get what you pay for. Your $300 set won't have chromoly tubing, rebuildable flex joints, powder coating and laser cut brackets with a fully bolt on design. I can assure you our costs are significantly more than$300 on this set of bars. If you want to build your own set, go for it, but not everyone has a welder and the ability to fabricate. These bars were designed for those that have basic tools and want a nice set of quality bars.

@philtitus7860

2 жыл бұрын

Lmao 9k. 850 ain't bad for a set of prefab bars especially for people that don't have access to all the required tools.

The bars are WAY longer than the front of the leaf springs. That makes them travel in different arcs which makes the suspension bind and ride like shit. The rear is at full droop. Bars are rigidly (as much rigidity as you get from a useless axle clamp) mounted on both ends. What happens when the suspension tries to compress?? The bar will hinder compression until the axle clamp spins to the rear. Now that the clamp is loose and free to move, it wont function as a traction bar. It might look cool under the truck, but it wont function as a traction bar. Piss poor design. Look up how to properly build traction bars. Your truck and passengers will thank you.

Well he just proved that he has zero idea about actually using trucks for work!! Anyone with any common sense that uses their trucks on farms,jobsite, or any off-road activities should know that you never put grease fittings or anything that can be easily damaged at the low point. Furthermore if a person is so lazy that they cannot teach on top of a 1.75 bar to grease a joint deserves to have their stuff wear out and break.
