Lets see your traction bars and steering stabilizers

Im about to order a set of traction bars, ive been contemplating a couple different sets. Ill be using it on a 2wd 84 f150..lowered with djm dream beams, and a hanger/shackle kit in the rear with 275/60r15's. Im also looking to see how you guys mount your steering stabilizer kits. I bought a moog one but never came with any instructions.

I had a basic Monroe steering stabilizer on my old truck and plan on putting the same one on my new truck. I see no need for any type of traction bars, unless your planning a radical motor build

You might also try posting this in the forum for your 84.

Do you have pics of the installation of the stabilizer? Well It's going to be a 460 with a toploader 4 speed..I figured I'd post it here with all the lightning people in these forums

It's really simple. I went with the Skyjacker single kit and took 10 minutes to install. A couple brackets, u bolts and bushings.


(I know, I need air in my tires. It's been sitting all winter, lol)




Works good Never owned a 2wd 84 though?

RC set up is the same as the skyjacker pic in this thread. Tie rod flip removes bump steer by putting the drag link and other steering parts on the same plane.

The same set up should fit a 2wd right?
