That looks pretty cool wonder why it never caught on. I will say one problem I'm having right now with my traction bar is exhaust. I was going to have it run out the back and have a muffler added to quiet it down but there's no space to run it without hitting the traction bar so I'm getting a dump before the axle with a large sissy muffler haha. I don't think you will have those problems tho.
+1 for your bars

No my bars will be nowhere near the exhaust, which was another thing i was looking at with the style bar you have is the fact there is nowhere to mount it that doesnt interfere with either exhaust of fuel tank....

Did you get brackets yet!!!!????

Yep went to the exhaust shop today. I havent seen the truck up on a lift pretty much since I got it and yeah theres no way I will ever be able to run the exhaust out past the axle again. But I had them weld in some big sissy muffler (havent even looked at it yet) and a turn down because there wasnt enough room to run it out. Holy crap is it quiet tho! First time Ive ever had it sound pretty much bone stock.

No i called 4wheelparts yesterday they said they are expecting them on the 6th, and i have called three or four other places and noone seems to have them in stock, if i can find another set i will cancel the 4wheelparts order and get them, but these things dont seem to exist other than when someone orders them....

Im surprised they couldnt do a side exit in front of the tire.... Usually requires a u bend in the pipe!!!

Dang they must be pretty popular I hate when parts are supposed to arrive on a monday makes me want the weekend to fly by haha. Could check ebay maybe but thats a long shot.

I had a side exit before But theres just no room it was pretty much a full 90* turn and it was still far enough back that at full droop the leaf springs would hit the tip just a little. Im happy that wont be clanging anymore off road and cabin is virtually silent not beisdes my trans!

6 hours of searching and no idea how many phone calls asking the same redundant question.... And getting the same redundant answer, most wanting to check make and model and verify thepart number..... And then half of them try to tell me its not for an extended cab....
