Lets see your traction bars!!!!

Post the pics of your traction bars, home made or bought, include some basic info about your bars and a rough cost on how much you have in them.

Ill start off, no ratchet strap comments please






not sure the specs on the tubes but they are 1/4 wall i think 2 inch, traction blocks were home made, kinda like the OUO ones, the bushing on the end is off a 90 F-150 with a 7/8bolt welded in the tube, onlyhad 30 bucks in them for the bushings, and bolts, the rest i had material laying around.

He makes them.. I've seen them first hand and for a lowered to a leveled truck, they would work great. Since i have 5" springs we decided that they wouldn't work very well. They are set up pretty good when i looked at them.


I ended up with these.



Rear block set up installed.

Truck had a bad vibration under load. Turned out the rear perches were partially crushed from wrap. That is being fixed along with some other minor stuff.



So no. Dont have my truck back.

I like THIS. Any more pictures?? I'd like to see the bar where it hooks to the axle. And where'd you get the materials?
