[QUOTE="Coueshunter, post: 1409667, member: 22926"] Your right, if a fixed set up works then so does OUO. If that's the case it would contradict a whole lot of sales pitch bs I read. Your leaf spring does not follow a fixed path even WITHOUT a fixed traction bar. Which is one of the reasons for a shackle. The leaf spring when taking a fore or aft force will deflect the opposite direction as it compresses. Now install that fixed traction bar. The leaf spring will still act the same way. It is not limited by the path or arc of a fixed bar as there is a moving shackle that will now deflect as the leaf spring compresses allowing the leaf spring to act normally. Building a model is not going to change this. You can attach a GoPro under the fender well and see this in action and watch the angle of the shackle. jacking up a truck and allowing the suspension to droop proves nothing of the upward travel. Nor does it prove anything about effecting useable wheel travel. Ever seen a rear mounted sway bar? Rides a whole lot better with one and helps a ton when looking for wheel articulation off-roading... bone stock trucks with no traction bars ride like ****. They bounce and are stiff. But, that has nothing to do with it. I'd love to see the bushing compressing in an OuO set up to absorb deflection. The least resistance is going to move the shackle long before a difference on a frame mounted bushing. [/QUOTE]
