Building som Traction bars!
 

Hey guys hope everyones day is going good! I've decided to build some traction bars for my truck. But I've ran into one issue and was hoping someone on here could maybe steer me in the right direction. The issue I've ran into is how to mount the bars to the rear axle, I really don't want to weld brackets to the axle. I've seen another type of bracket that is held in by the u bolts but I cant seem to find them anywhere. Anybody know where I could find these? And has any one else built their own traction bars? If so what kind of materials did you use. Thanks Cody.

I've seen where you loosen your U-Bolts and a bracket goes in there. My buddy's truck has them.

Yes those are the ones I want any idea where he got them?

Those fit our axle?

when you call them,tell them what you have and yes they fit....

Go to a junk yard and get some rear shock mount brackets off a Superduty

Sorry for the delay, they came on the truck when he bought it so I have no idea. Sorry

It's ok! I would like to find them since I have a sway bar on my rear end and I'm trying to figure out a way to mount these without removing it.

Here this will give you all kinds of different ways to build them.

I have already read that thread lol thanks for the info though!

I didn't remove my sway bar....mounted mine straight off the frame to the axle right beside the shock mount...i don't have any pics but will try later to snap a few..I did weld my mounts in though
