So that's the block setup? How tall?
Yes thats our new single bar block setup. That one is a 6" block.

Id say you got the most HD block setup.
Any pics of the tube end? Any gussets welded to the tube?
BTW a pm sent.
Awesome work trevor. You will be hearing from me for a set in a few weeks
This single connection points on both ends will allow for much better articulation that the triangles versions of the old system. Why they will both allow full travel is the fixed path with both sides moving together but only the single bar will allow for articulation at extreme travel without binding. Making this a bolt on also makes this a huge improvement for those that may see more rough terrain and off roading. It will still give all the benefits of eliminated wrap and minimizing wheel hop.
Looks like a very good design. I still need to purchase a few more things from you Trevor. I have to say the hanger shackle kit I have from you has to be the the most well built HD version of this I have seen. I'm going to twist the frame end into a cork screw before those hangers give out. LOL
Trevor,
Question for ya. Have you actually tested this exact traction bar setup on a truck yet and testing it at full travel with a longer travel spring than stock?
Edited: to leave off the extra stuff as its common knowledge.
Thanks man, glad you liked our hangers. Really the purpose of this additional version of bars was SUPPOSED to be a simple cost effective kit to offer customers that were just looking for simple single bar traction bars. Then I had a couple people want a block version and I got a little carried away with the design. There will be lots of testing to come with this design.
** Did you ever have any issues in HP setups or larger tires with the old traction block bending or cracking at the lower traction bar ,mounting point?
My idea is that while the two piece design of this new block is stronger I am not sure its really needed unless you have a reason to think the old design was an issue. With the way your blocks capture the ubolts there is no way they are going to spin unless the entire axle tube spins. SO unless the bar lower mount on the block itself was failing it may be a lot of extra steel and welding that is not needed and would also lower the cost as you already have it all done is the old design. Simply delete the top bar mount for this system or leave it so people could choose between the two different bar designs.
Can A guy just get the blocks? That way a guy could start there and build his own

Yes, but also keep in mind that this is where 90% of the labor and materials go aswell. So the cost difference between the two is not all that substanial. BUT I am not opposed to selling just the blocks if you would like.
