Trevor,

What about making the top plate so a air bag can be mounted directly to it. Then you could have a reg height air bag and not some wierd weak mount.

Firestone airbags to be more specific. That's would be tits

Ya, I could build a set like that if you wanted.

I could make the plate blank, the user would need to drill the holes so that the top and bottom lined up properly. Unless I knew going in the bolt spacing.

I can get you the bolt spacing and all what you need. I have a set on my truck.

What is your opinion to use these?

It seems like they provide the quite benefit of a rubber type bushing but the flexibility of a joint.

When are you poised to have more info on your website about the new bars?

Thanks!

Ballistics will be better, check out those joints. Off-road approved by my experience with a built 350 in a jeep with 24" lift and 38"s on dana 60's. 3 link front, 4 link rear, all ballistic 3" joints.

No doubt that is a massive joint.
I have read about noise transfer w/ the joints which is why the rubber bushing type are used, better DD characteristics.

NotStock · May 10, 2012

The bars will be using a poly bushing on the axle side to absorb road vibrations at the source and then a poly johnny joint on the frame side to keep noise to a min but allow bind free articulation.

I'm ready to see pics of the bars.

I'm hoping mine will be here for the weekend!

Y'all think these would help with the clunk shifting on higher tuned 6.4s?

powerlifter405 · May 11, 2012

Anymore news? I have $ burning a hole in my pocket. I'll need to buy soon before I chicken out.

I*C*B*M · May 11, 2012

Superstroked...any traction bars shpuld help with that. These seem like a stout setup, that's why I peddled my Newton's. Didn't really care for those. There is a LOT of r&d into these, tho it seems to be pushing the production time a bit. Good things come to those who wait, I suppose.

How long are the bars, for a ccsb 08?

68" eye to eye at min adjustment. Can extend 2"ish longer if needed.

They are done. First set was mailed out last week. I built ICBM's set today and his will go out at the first of this week. I have an axle in the shop if you wanted to see mocked up pics.

Why did you not like the Newtons? Want to sell them?

Sorry man. They're gone. I wasnt pleased with a 2.5" bar that necked down to a 3/4" regular hiem joint at both ends. The tractin block itself was pretty nice. A very stout product, but it just wasn't to my liking. Like I said, the idea of that huge bar, with no bushing, and a mere 3/4" joint, seemed sketchy.
