Anti-Wrap bars
i know we have beat this topic to death, but there has alwats been one question on my mind.
you see the jeep/eb guys running a single bar setup with s shackle, on everything from dana 30's to 14 bolts with 70-400 hp. ive never heard of anyone twisting the tube sin the housing on a 1 ton rear...and i have seen a few fullsizes running a single bar.
Im just wondering on a high hp rig like mine(470?) a 10.25 rear, 5.13's and 44's....could i get away with just one bar?? or do yall think i would break the pumpkin away from the tubes? i know two would be better, but im a poor poor lazy college student, and steel is expensive. plus im tired of my crappy traction bars so if i could get away with one bar it would cut my costs in half, and i would have less clutter underneath than i do now with my two traction bars
Wut do yall think???? anyone running a single bar on their big block fullsize?

I ran a single ladderbar type traction bar with a shackle at the frame end, In my jeep with 450hp 44s and rockwells, it worked O.K until I decided to test it, I went out on the asphalt and dropped the clutch at 5k, it lifted the jeep hard and bent both rear leafsprings, and pulled the rear driveshaft apart. But due to the short wheelbase and tall ride height the angle on the bar was less than ideal and as short as it was it didnt have much leverage.
