Hey guys. I finally got off my butt and ordered a set of LFP's 58" traction bars. I was just wondering if anyone had them, and if so how do you like them. Also, anyone got any pics of them installed? Thanks a lot , Joe

I have the 54" JLP bars. I like them, but after a few thousand miles the squeak and creek like crazy. You can keep them greased, or what I did is order a Bassani off road mid pipe to go along w/my Bassani headers and Bassani catback... I dont hear any unwanted squeaks anymore :)
Another thing, if you are lowered much they will drag pulling in parking lots and cant get the truck off of car lifts very easily either.
Only pics I have is some side shots of the truck and you can barely see them.

most people I know that have them have switched to the Metco upper/lower bars. The 58" bars do grind on speed bumps, parking lots, or anything with an incline. Plus the Metco's are adjustable. Since my truck is lowered I put the lower Metcos on mine (with Roush suspension) from Chickenears. The 58" works, but they also hit some peoples exhaust.

I have the Exhaust problem to. I have the Roush kit plus 3" shackles. I didnt have any issues untill the I put the shackles on after the Roush kit though. Whenever I get a nice day and a day off I am gonna raise the shackles up a notch and see how that works.
