Since I am currently unemployed and have more that enough time on my hands at the moment, I am going to start making pulling parts to try to keep in stock for selling. I notice there are alot of people out there asking for pulling parts such as adjustable bump stops, traction bars, weight brackets, DS loops, hitches ( slide in adjustable receivers or full custom hitchs), sled stops, roll pans (in house installs only), and other steel and aluminum fabrications.

I will do package deals aswell as single components. I will also do in house installs for those who are local or willing to travel to have them installed. Will have pics of some of my previous work uploaded shortly.

Just getting the word out. If anyone is interested you can PM me on here, or E-mail at kino_xtreme@hotmail.com or call (270)590-6161

Thanks

I wish the best for you man. It's tough right now for sure.

way to get out there and make something happen instead of crying about it.
 
Good luck As many guy's need them you could stay bussy.
Sorry I don't need any bar's are front weight brackes for mine.

I wish you the best in these hard times, will spread the word for you.
 
hey bragg i could be your first customer!!! i need some traction bars, what will they run me. i will be at ts but i could drive down before them and have you throw them on for me
 
I'd be interested in a pair of sled stops, and a fully adjustable reese style hitch ( not the 1-2" bolt hole type adjustment)
 
CTD99, a set of bars installed in house will run about $350 non adjustable with all the frame and rear axle brakets welded. Adjustable bars add $200, full bolt on setups add $200.

Seeker, Adjustable suspension stops run about $150. Most of my stops just bolt to the factory Bump stop locations. Will need a few measurements on anything except dodges. I have a couple trucks I can mock them up to for a Dodge.
Not sure on a full adjustable hitch like you want just yet. Will have to come up with a few designs to see what will work the best and be cost effective. But I will get back to you on it.

Here is an e-mail I sent in reply to another person interested:
I can build any setup for mostly dodges. I do have a 02 Ford dually I can mock up some things aswell, but nothing for a D-Max as of yet on some parts.

I have found it most effective to have all the traction bar bracketry to be welded to the frame a rear axle, but I can make bolt on setups. I have also seen there is no advantage in having adjustable traction bars aswell. I do have a rear hitch bar setup that has been proven around here to very very effective. It works like the traction bar setup going from the rear axle forward, but this setup goes from the rear axle to the back of the truck near the hitch. I haven't had a chance to get any pics just yet, but I will e-mail you some as soon as i get them.

A full basic pulling setup I have includes a full slide in weight bracket made for Suit Case weights such as International, old style John Deere, Ditch Witch, ect..., Traction bar setups forward of the rear axle including bars, frame and rear axle brackets and safty cable loops, adjustable suspension stops, U-joint sheids, and an adjustable slide in hitch using a pintle hitch ring. This basic kit starts at $1200 plus shipping. This setup will be all welded bracketry aswell and the traction bars are non adjustable. Bolton setups will add $300 for U-bolts and mounting tabs.

Slide in Weight Brackets for Dodge trucks starts at $400.

Traction Bar setups start at $300 non adjustable, Adjustable bars will be an extra $200, Bolt on kits add $300.

The Rear hitch bars setup for welded rear axle brackets will be $300

Full Swinging Drive Shaft Loops and U-joint Shields will be $1000 or add $600 to the above package.

Custom Reece Style hitches moved forward in the factory mounting points, slide in hitch with roll pan and sled stops are $1200- in house only

For a complete Full out Setup that includes the adjustable front traction bars, rear htich bar setup, weight bracket, suspension stops, custom hitch and roll pan package, full swinging drive shaft loops will be around $3000 installed in house. The truck will basically be a ready to go turn key chassis. Full installs usually take about a week.

Just let me know what all exactly you are wanting and also the length design of the truck (RegCab LB, ExtCab SB, ect...), and specify if the rear drive shaft is one piece or 2 piece for the drive shaft loop setups.

Also for those wondering, I use 2"x 1/4" Square tubing on the traction bars. The ends of the bars are drilled straight through the tubing on the frame mount end and at the rear axle mounts on CR Dodges. 2nd Gens will have Rod ends welded at the Rearaxle because of clearance issues. This is on the non adjustable standard bars. Adjustable will have threaded rod ends and bungs welded on each end of the bars.

I can also make DOM Round tube bars with threaded rod ends aswell, but it will be at a greater cost depending on the length.

Also if your truck has a suspension lift kit, you will need to specify the hieght of the lift for Traction bar mounts and drive shaft loops.
 
Another option on the adjustable square tube bars will be where the frame mount ends still bolt up solid through the bars thier selves, but the rear axle end will have "ladder bar adjusters" with threaded heim joints. Heres a pic of the adjusters http://www.midwestcontrol.com/buy.php?item=5002 This will allow you to adjust the bars and still keep them straight instead of turning sideways. This will also be a cheaper option than having adjustable rod ends at both ends of the traction bars.

Justin I think you`ve found you callin`. But some of these prices...... I don`t see how you can do it that cheap. I know this because 2 weeks ago I set my truck up with all the goodies. Just a few trips to town buying the tubeing and all the steel gets expensive quick, not to mention the time and welding rods and breathing all the smoke. Anybody needing fab work done I would highly recommend this guy. I`ve seen his work and I`ve seen him take a truck with 100 hp short of other trucks and literaly put 20-30 feet on them because of suspension setup. Good luck in what you do bud.

Thanks Grainfarmer. So far I have found a few good deals on materials. Right now I am working out of one of my friends shops. He has been a great friend of mine for a long time now and has most every piece of equipment I need. Only thing I wish we had was an Iron Worker, and a cold saw, lol. Drilling all the holes and trying to do precision cuts with a portaband and a plasma cutter gets alittle tricky and time consuming, lol. Anyways its kinda a joint buisness we are doing. I'm doing most of the fabrication work and he gets a cut for the use of his equipment.

Keep the requests and quotes coming guys. After I get some buisness and get going with it, I may be alittle late replying to PM's, but I will get to you as soon as I can with in the same day or the next.

I've seen Bragg's work.....everytime I walk out my back door!LOL

Seriously guys Justin's a great fabricator, he does good work, and he won't let it leave his shop unless he feels its done right.

As stated above he took a sub 500HP truck and put it out in front of everybody else most nights, and that mean's its all in the setup folks!

Hey Justin just don't go selling a bunch of the rear suspension setup's to everybody. ;)
 
Sounds like its catching on fast. good luck Justin. as soon as i figure out what i need, I'll know who to call !!!
 
Just let me know Barry. Speaking of pics, I'm getting ready to upload a few I took today of the Traction bar setups on my truck and Lynn's 2wd puller we did last fall, a few of my CR suspension stops and the slide in hitch I use on my truck. Even got a few of the Roll Pan I made from diamond aluminium.
 
pics!!!

OK here are some pics.

Here is the traction bar setup and the Rear hitch bar setup on Lynn's (fireman450) 2wd flat bed.

Here are pics of the basic hitch that I will be making and selling, though it will be with out the sled stops unless a buyer wants them added.

Here is my diamond aluminum roll pan I made with my hitch installed. Though if a customer wants a roll pan setup and a shorter hitch, I will not be doing a setup such as this. I will be using a steel aftermarket roll pan and the sled stops will be mounted to the frame, or the reece style hitch. Roll pan will also be painted at the buyers expense if he/she chooses.
