Traction Bar
I'm going to be making a traction bar for my 94 F150 w/ 8.8 limited slip rear. I've done some mods to the engine and now I get some bad axle wrap from a stop.
So far, I plan to use control arm bushings in the back(so easily replacable) and use a tractor 3-point hitch link end for the front(so axle can still articulate without binding) connected to a "Jhonny Joint". The front will be attached to the bottom of the rail thats inbetween both of the front spring mounts.
It will look similar to this one http://www.sams4x4store.com/specialty.htm#Heavy Duty Traction Bar (scroll down to view how its mounted to axle)
Has anyone here done this to theirs? Any tips or ideas?
