traction blocks...whose seen them?

One Up Offroad

made by one-up offroad who has sent some of the craziest trucks to sema I have ever seen...it makes sense, it actually becomes a part of the susupension rather then just being bolt on

let me know what you think about them please, as well as how much you think they run

Their traction bars suck though cause it is a bar that slides into another bar held in place by a bolt. There is a vid. on youtube and you can actually see the bar flexing just by brake torquing it.

what a shame....so youd have to weld the up, or replace the bar in order for them to be of any help

Thats too bad. They did look a little flimsy I guess. I bet it really wouldnt be all that hard to whip up your own set though.

It would be better to just use springs and traction bars. Blocks suck. My beautiful rig will never see junk parts such as block

Even though they look cool I wouldnt pay that much for looks I will take function over form ANY day. They might be alright if you dont beat on your rig much. here you go.

The Dodge trucks come with blocks stock. Unless you removed them, you've got blocks.
