My advice would build your own or here are some very tough ones. Traction Bars

Full leafs are great and definitely the way to go, but for the guys running huge lifts full leafs arent that great. Think of the arch on those leafs and how horrible the ride would be. These are a good option for guys running over 8" of lift.

$1300 is retarded for those. they have a poor mount on the frame end, old for radius arm style, which allows play forward and back (exactly what you want a traction bar NOT to do). i think half that price is a reasonable price for a better design

those lazersmiths are nice

i tihnk the sled pullers or the lazer IIs would be the perfect addition to my rig

i guess those will be next, but we have tornadoes moving in right now so our power might be a gonner

Damn, apparently they don't believe in water on the track. I still don't like the idea of those bars. Proper bars should be mounted on the vertical axis of the rear axle, below the axle.

Nice gap in the rear between the plate and the factory axle plate, are you planning for that to bend or just rock around?
That looks real safe, Nice work!
2 Bolts in the frame? really?

Please explain why you think that makes a difference.

Wow, didnt see a need for that really but any way. They are holding up just fine thank you. I did have to go back and put another bolt from the bottom. Thanks for you interest chief!

P.S. 5 pulls 3 being over 300 foot in the open class and 4 passes down an 1/8 mile track in the low 8's, I would say they are doing thier job!
