Finished DIY Traction Bars

[young7.3]

Better late than never....
After several months of slowly working on them I am done. Ends are from Ballistic but can be found at other places. Bars are 2" DOM tubing. 72" long from eye to eye. Coated with rattle can paint for now, soon to get powder coated. Here are some pics kiddos........

Breaking it in a little

looks good man, i cant wait to do mine! if you dont mind me asking how much it set you back?

 

[young7.3]

I dont remember the exact cost of the ends but i think they were 250 for everything except the tubing. I already had that at the shop.

Looks awesome! Any chance you have some drawings or prints you made up? I want to make some for my truck, but I'm not a GOOD fabricator. Looks like you have some experience with it.

Yeah I drew up the axle and frame mounts using solidworks and just gave them to a guy at work and he cut them out with is laser cutter. I just welded them together. The files are at work tho. Ill have to get them on tuesday.

 

[mortal798]

That would be awesome if you could send them to me. I have a whole machine shop at work that could cut the pieces out, I just need something to go off of. And they use solid works, so it would be perfect!

 

[young7.3]

No problem

Got to love solid works and laser cutters. So much better then the torch I used.

Sent from my x2 somewhere

If you want the drawings of the mounts send me an email so i can attach them to it, specify if you want them in solid works format or auto cad. [email protected]

The ends are ballistics 1.25" busshings and joints. I dont have any more pics of the underside flexing unless I pick it up again.

I lost the files off my computer. Contact the first guy that I sent them to and get them from him.
