Mega Cab Traction Bars

[RNicol]

I'm looking to put a set of traction bars on my rig here soon. I'll be making my own setup. Just wondering what any of you guys with mega cabs are using... Length, round or square, etc.... I built a set for my old truck and they were 2in square and i really seemed to like them. I like the square look I guess but post up pics of whatever you have.

Did you try searching? Bars for your mega are going to be just about the same as bars on anything. lets see pics of traction bars - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together

Do you do ladders or just single bars? I do have firestone airbags too so mounting options are kinda to a minimum.

Just bars

You could look for QCLB lengths also as they and the MegaCab trucks use the same chassis.

round, double wall pipe. 6 ft long. Weld one mount to the frame. Bolt the other mount to the bottom of the u-bolts on axle. They work on my puller so they outta work for u just fine.

Thank you, I wasn't sure about the length. How do you do the brackets on the axle? Can't really bolt them on with the threaded end of the U bolts not being down by the axle.. unlike the 2nd gen style. Past trucks I've just welded brackets to the axle.

I think Megatron is running a Dana 80. That's why he can bolt the brackets in.

I understand, that does make sense. I guess welding them on will work just fine also.

Maybe a dumb question but on a megacab pulling truck wouldn't the chasis flex be under the cab and not where the cab and bed meet? If you run long bars wouldn't that mess with the frame under the cab.

We build our MC bars at 55" combined length (tube and weld in inserts.) We use Currie Enterprises 1.25" x 2.65"Johnny Joints and their weld in inserts to double wrench em'.

Various frame brackets out there but Synergy MFG frame brackets work REALLY well. We make the axle brackets in house. 1/4" plate 4" tube with about 3" of seperation and that makes for a great angle that doesn't interfere with suspension movement at all on stock height or block-lifted pickups.
