I would like to see a truck with that style on a lift cycling the suspension I feel like it must bind after only a few inches of down travel. I have yet to see mine cycle fully but hopefully this weekend I can install it and do some tests.

But like I said any of these style should be just fine for a street truck.

 

Simmon- When you drive with them let us know if you feel any ride difference!

 

Dan the bar you have has bushings at bothe ends doesnt it?? I have ridden in a couple of trucks with ladder bars and the habdling is actually improved, and as far as articulation it really doesnt hinder it, wouldnt want to use them rock crawling, my biggest thing wuth ladder/traction bars is the affect n fround clearance

 

Thanks guys, with everything mocked up I checked for bind in the "normal" amount of axle up and down movement and all seemed well. I was really afraid it was going to be working against itself in a daily driving scenario but so far so good. I didn't get a chance to finish the rear mounts yet but tomorrow after work it should be good to go!

 

The other thing to point out is the ladder/traction bar is going to move with the leaf spring, up and down hence the reason the vehicle really should be on the ground with weight on the tires when the front gets mounted to the frame(at least on the procomp/fabtech style anyway.... The purpose is to limit the axle forcing the spring to flexchabging pinion angle not keep the spring from cycling up and down...

 

It's in jack stands under the axle for all of my measurements and work up for that reason

 

That should be fine

 

The link I posted is a DIY version of caltracs.
All the mounting is exactly like how a caltrac mounts, for a fraction of the cost of course.

 

Id like to find sonething like that for a set like what i need for my truck..... I will learn to weld, damnit!! Lol ....well, More than exhaust anyway!!

 

I have long bars on my lightning and my 2010
