Do you have any more pics of the traction bars? Interested in how you mounted everything.
Heres some traction bar pics. I love everything about it except how the cross member was made. At the time I still had a fab tech drop bracket lift and torsion bars. So the fab shop that built the cross member made it dead even with the fab tech torsion bar drop bracket junk. Therefore it sits below the frame which bugs the crap out of me. However it will likely stay until I 14b swap.
I have heard so many failure stories about the walbro's that it wouldnt surprise if it was dead.
pray tell... because i've got a 450 in the car that took a lot of work to square away (custom bucket & bracket + return line conversion because the regulator was overwhelmed). i'd hate to have that go out on a hard run, as i'm already maxing out a stock LS1.
I did sorta put it through the ringer trying to sort out the bad ground issue I was having. Maybe the repeated on and off hurt it. Still haven't tested the old one maybe tonight.

Looks nice man. I agree with the statement about the drop down cross member not being ideal.
Any reasoning for only going with a single side vs a bar from each spring mount to the frame?
I'm trying to map out, design, and fab up a set for myself so just trying to gather as much info as possible.

Single bar on a shackle gives more suspension travel and takes up less space. Plus with the gas tank where it is on a RCSB theres not much room on the driver side. I wanted to get as long of a bar as possible because in theory a longer bar works better and binds less. I also did not want the typical 2 bar hanging down look like most diesels go for. The cross member will get done whenever I can get the damn thing "Reliable" again.
I used to brag 25-30k miles on a bone stock 4.8 on 16-19psi depending on belt slip and IAT. Never had an issue. Ok 1 belt died and an O2 sensor quit but that's it.
Just changed to much and didn't know wtf I was doing to be honest 😂
