Traction bars
Looking for axle wrap solutions. Any preferences on one brand or another for traction bars? Debated making a set but extra time is not a luxury I have at the moment.

I run PMF bars that attach to the axle with the u-bolts. I had to convert to flip the u-bolts and upgraded to 3/4"...I have a Dana 80. They do the job for what i need. they helps smooth out shifts as well.
One Up Offroad used to make a killer kit but they sold out to S&B. Not sure when they were last available but S&B doesn't seem to support us anymore besides intake and cab mounts

they do offer weld on. I'm not sure what all Trevor offers now. I chose my option because i didn't feel like doing any welding.
I'm also not sure whom all makes a good kit but I'm sure there are options

I haven't run traction bars so no advice or recommendations but what finally worked for my truck was some simple spring clamps I threw together with some 1/4 x 1 1/2 angle iron and 5/8 grade 8 bolts. There was a little trial and error finding where to place them on the spring. The Googleverse has a few different schools of thought on theory but I ended up with two clamps /spring, one forward and the other rearwards. Between the x'clamps and making sure the pinion angle is set correctly finally cured my axle wrap issues.
