So I have 79 f100 2wd swb, I will be installing a 514 next month and was curious if yall ran some sort of ladder bar or traction bars and if so what brands and pics would be really appriciated thank you

 

I've made my last few sets. I built a set of honest to God old school ladder bars for an F350 4x4 with shackles at the front to a 4 link setup in my '70 F100 with a 514. If you're just looking for a set of slapper bars the fabrication is pretty easy. All kinds of bolt on stuff from Summit or Jegs too.

 

I ended up putting on some lakewood for a 80 up truck ...

heres a thread too

Did you have to modify them, I saw the thread and sweet pics and info, are the universals good

 

No mods ... I had to get longer bolts if i remember rite ... havent drove it much since intall ... they angle up a bit more than i had hope - which is just a looks/apperance thing tho....

 

What brand and where did you get them from also how much if you dont mind me asking

 

I do believe it was these .....

Lakewood 21715 Traction Bar

 

Is the picture missing some parts? What all is included would you mind posting some pics thats are a little more detailed I will be purchasing a set here in two weeks and want to make sure I have the correct ones or kit.

 

Missing bolts and shims in the pic.... no pics available as the ride is stored for the winter ....

I'll dig up the instructions and scan ....

 

Heres the instructions and model #'s of the ones i installed ....

I can pm them to you in a pdf format if ya want ....

 

Hi sorry to bother you again but i've been searching through the forum and some other guy on here used the lakewoods but instead of the 21715 that you used he used the 22026's which are 30 inch in length total so how long are yours and what would you recommend

 

I think he put his on a 4x4 .... mine fit nice on the 2wd .... i think he posted pics on my original inquiry post last year........

 

Looked like a 2wd
