They're made by a company called "Great Covers" and I bought them online. The material is a heavy duty nylon, and it's laminated with a water proof material on the underside. They are very, very durable and they fit great, and intall easily.

It's been two years of abuse and they are in fine shape. They cost about $225.00 for everything in a Crew Cab. I definitely recommend them.

I like the "wet keyhole" ones also, they look sharp.

 

Just a thought though - the pro-comps come with poly bushings on both ends. If you off road it much or anything like that you will want to use some type of rod end at one end of the bar. This will allow the bars to move indepoendently of eah other, for say when you go over a bump on just one tire.

 

Super: the pro comp setup works pretty well, it allows an amazing amount of flex for the setup.. the poly's are of a softer compound than others ive seen and when flexing the truck the bars move around as much as they need to.. ive flexed the truck with and without them to see and it was the same.. the way they fit up is pretty loose with some side to side room to flex.. they built the setup with side to side and twistin movement allowed but back and forth movement is stopped, so the shackle has to do that work.. making wheel hop next to impossible... ohhh ya as a side note... while 4x4 quite a bit up in the Oregon Dunes, id did shred one of those bushings from too much flex.. but my quad was in the back and that put a little more tension on them than normal... anyway the poly bush held in there it was just all cracked and torn.. it made the trip back to TX... I had to order a new bushing set and it cost $80... so there would be some advantage to the setup like Super's, never would have that problem.. but in 2 years of off road and pulling a TT from TX to WA 4 different times.. only messed up one bushing. Just info.

ps.. now im just speculating but when i have 1-2 quads in the back of my truck and a TT attached the rear end sits 2-3" lower.. this puts a bit of tension on those bars and the poly bushings do a good job of allowing that to happen.. on the freeway they might provide for a SLIGHTLY smoother ride than a solid unit because each bump isnt transfered directly to the frame.. but im sure Supers setup has poly at the axle so it probably makes no differnce at all...just a thought.

 

I have the Pro Comp traction bars and I wouldn't recommend their mounting hardware............the upper mount is okay but I don't like the lower mount at all. I'd rather weld a mount to the axle tube and have a straight bar instead of the bend that is needed to make them work with the Pro Comp brackets.

As far as ends the Pro Comp bushings are okay for me so far. Spherical bearing rod ends transfer more vibration through them and will eventually need to be replaced. A sleeved poly urethane bushing should work well and still allows for articulation.




Back on Topic:
My favorite mod is between the tint, stereo and hood.

 

No, i am actually usine heim joints at both ends. I had originally planned for using them at only one end, however it was easier to make them with heim joints at both ends

Surprisingly i don't feel any vibration off of them at all. They have done exactly what they are supposed to, and truly made the back end ride A LOT better. No longer does it shake over bumps, it has a very solid feel to it.

I think that the best setup would be having a heim upfront and bushing in back. Both should be adjustable, for easy of adjustments after spring sagging and for installing (you don't have to ge your front bracket distance perfect).

 

Lockers, hands down.

 

The recall of the c94 injectors, oh wait thats wishfull thinking. Id have to say the lift since i havent done much else yet.

Here is a picture of the rear mount some of yall were asking about. The front is just like that of a hanger for a leaf spring, only 1" wide. The front mounts are just bolted to the frame using three grade 8 1/2" bolts. Here is the rear pic of the tabs welded to the axle tube and the rear heim joint: (sorry it is kinda dark, my scanner does that)

 

ummm.... a crap shoot between the detroit (i can go places in 2wd where most guys in 4wd get stuck) or the drivers side grab handle (otherwise i'd not be able to even get into my truck).

 

Hey, abendx, I finally did that grab handle and I love it.How much do you chirp that Detroit?

 

Dam migdets shouldn't be driving big trucks anyhow...

 

at least i can deal with the reasoning behind having a big truck....

some ppl have to pretend and tell everyone they have a bigger one???

detriot.... a little, but not too bad.

 

I was just reading the SEMA news letter and they said that the most popular aftermarket thing guys do to trucks is a bedliner. Go Figure. Lift kits didnt even make the top ten. Silly people.
