lets see pics of traction bars

[Blackdog]

Today it ocurred to me that an old leaf spring mount bolted to the side of the frame would make a handy link bar mount. Anyone else thought of this?

I have seen that done and have thought about that idea myself for the simplicity of it. No fab work, Just drill and bolt it to the frame. Shouldn't have a problem finding them at a salvage yard.

Are you planning on running the bars on the outside of the frame? Otherwise, it is a lot of material just for a mount.

Yes, outside the frame. Maybe even in the front like the Dick Cepek long arm bracket.

I have a chance to get a set of fabtech floating traction bars that are made for a super duty. Will these work on a 96' Dodge 2500???

I finally got my bars done. I wanted something short and stout, I think I have that. Best part is I do not have to take them off to put the truck on the lift, or do anything different for that matter.
