Message: [QUOTE="INFRNL, post: 626314, member: 9835"] Hey Tree Trimmer, I'm curious what kind of background you have with suspensions, traction bars, etc? Seems like you know a great deal, just wondering. I have some knowledge as well, but I am no expert either. I am a bit rusty and need to double check my info, but would like to add a couple of things to what you have mentioned. You have made some good points that many do not realize or understand about suspensions and traction bars. One of the most important facts that goes in correlation with what tree trimmer has mentioned is: the bars MUST be parallel to the driveline. This is another reason why you will get binding and/or issues as tree trimmer has mentioned. I would also like to add that traction bars typically need to be at least 54" long to be effective. This will vary for each vehicle depending on lift, wheelbase, etc. This is why the adjustable length OUO would be a wise choice. The mount on the axle needs to be a certain length, but I do not recall what the minimum length is. I want to say the minimum bracket length must be 2.5" but I will have to find out. If its too short, the design will not be effective. I believe DOM tubing is the best choice, for many reasons, but I think there are some materials that will give good results as well. I would not use typical steel tubing, but that's just me. I will post more to try to help if I can. [/QUOTE]
