ive been debating on weather or not build up some trac bars..

finally i got my truck back from the shop (remember my post of the "rodeo mod"...) and started looking under the truck to see possible places to mount the supports on the frame for the traction bars ands afet a while jjust sended the idea to hell...

well i still want ones so it the ones that got can take some pics on the supports for the trac bars, both on the frame as on the axle..

asking as im not very informed on the subject so any help would be great :)

btw i did search but it wasent enough..

 

ive seen a few pics of some trac bars using a shackle on the frame side.. is this a bad idea or does it have any advantage? .... im trying to inform myself on this before i start to make em..

 

just get some from Ford Bronco, Bronco II, Ranger, Explorer 4x4 parts accessories Broncos Rangers Explorers Fords theyre cheap and work great.

 

those look easy to make though.... but i mean is there any advantage to put a shackle on the frame?

i like better the long link. anyway ill have to make em myself as right now i cant aford not even the 100$ ones cause ill have to still pay shipping and handling all the way to my country,...

 

i have one with the shackle on the frame.

biggest thing, make sure the shackle goes UP from the mount, the bar wont work if the shackle goes down.

mine's like 5" hole to hole and i didn't have an issue with it at Katemcy minus the whole bracket breaking off the axle I'm using the axle end bracket from Ruff Stuff, Give him a call and he can sell you 3 heims instead of 4 (he normally sells them in pairs).. And its made out of 1.25x.120 DOM.. Its not broken yet. I would recommend making it beefier, i only made it out of that cause i couldn't find anything else local in the time i needed it.

I need to find my damn camera, if i can find it or use my step dads I'll take some pics when i get home.

 

ok thanks pics will help alot :)
