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.

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
