[Dieselcraft]

Were planing on building bolt on kits
I'm going to go pro mine for the before and after effects

 

[Lowdown89]

Looks good, I'm still wanting to build a set for my truck

[faster6.0]

Looks great weston...I'd carry em

 

[Agjake11]

look good. interested in seeing the bolt on setup

 

[Mdub707]

I'm interested to see how this effects articulation at all... I mean this setup will bind wont it? Shouldn't there be a hanger of sorts on the front connection?

To my knowledge and what I have gathered, as long as the traction/ladder bars are built at the same angle as the driveshaft it should be fine even with a load.

correct sir

Hesston said he notices a lot less axle wrap
and to him he said it feesl like a lot more poer to the ground

my truck is going to the shop tonight so we can get are new bars drawn up
going to run the mid nights this weekned for a before time
then later the after time

Crew cab shortbed? If you don't mind posting the length of the bars I'd appreciate it. Thinking of building a set for mine down the road after I pull the leaf spring spacers and drop the back end about an inch.

 

[Dieselcraft]

Ill have Hesston chime in later

 

[Homesteader]

What size tube are you guys using and how long are they?

 

[Mdub707]

To my knowledge and what I have gathered, as long as the traction/ladder bars are built at the same angle as the driveshaft it should be fine even with a load.

Then why is it the driveshaft has slip joints to allow an in and out motion as it moves through the suspension cycle? The bars should do the same thing. Same reason the leaf springs are mounted in this way. I think the way to kind of "cheat" away from that is to make the bars exceptionally long, but at some point they will still be binding suspension travel. I'm sure for a sled puller who wants a rigid setup that'd be great, but try articulating the suspension, I'd like to see what happens. It may be enough movement for most, but for some it's certainly going to limit travel no? I'm not knocking this, more asking what usable travel is left. For most guys it may not even matter.
