Mcgaughy's Traction Bar

[williamallen13]

Has anyone seen the 60" Traction Bar Kit - Mcgaughys Part #57218. They look great. This matched with their radius arm drop brackets and boxed 4 link arms would be a sweet setup.

I just did their 8" 4 link (that I pushed to 10"), these will be my next addition, after I recoup some funds.

Traction bars only work going forwards? What about reverse?

How much power do you plan on putting to the wheels in reverse?

Easy fix. Just put on backwards.

Have you ever backed up a trailer with a truck with ****ty traction bars?

They look cobbled to me. My gut hurts Im laughing so hard thinking what would happen if you articulated the truck with that junk on it..

I've never been in a truck with traction bars. I'd buy one of the cheaper sets out there but why waste the money on them when what I really want in the end is one of the good sets that i won't have to worry about breaking when towing heavy.

What kind of ends are on the axle side of the bars?



And yall are only seeing half of the set up, obviously the bar on the side we are seeing is for forward movement, and the one on the driver side is reversed for backing up like a bad ass.....yeah...

Must be custom bars for DPC event.

Wow, someone actually builds that and people pay for that....LOL It is a copy of the Full Flex setup....LOL


Can you not buy a Rize front setup anymore? Doesn't that look a lot like a Rize 4-link setup???

 

[Layson]

Get used to feeling that clunk all the time....LOL


It is too bad they don't use all Grade 8 hardware in their front setup like they use on their traction bars...LOL


Look at the pinion angle too...LOL I bet that has a nice shudder to it.....LOL

Only way that setup would be better if they 4-linked the rear with that traction bar setup!!!!! That would be cool!
