Yea cause I am too cheap to spend the $1000's of dollars it takes to coil over a lifted off road truck :dontknow:
Sorry. I missed the part about the 4 link holding it !
I've wheeled old Mopars for years so I totally understand where you are coming from!

That would be an old school slapper bar
This is a pinion snubber
That is a good idea in theory but it is nowhere near the instant center of a truck. It may stop wheel hop but it does nothing to promote increased traction.
In addition to stopping driveline destroying axle wrap and wheelhop, the purpose of a traction bar is to use the rotational forces of the rear axle to help transfer lift to the front end to aid in weight transfer back to the rear wheels. It does this by applying that rotational force to a point in 'front' of the rear axle - the further forward that point of transfer is (long bars anyone?), the better the 'lift'.
If it's only job was to stop axle rotation and cure wheel hop - it could easily do it by clamping BEHIND the axle

So how much and is there any good pics of this set up? Back in the day SSM was making long bars for muscle cars then cal-tracs with mono leafs came out and the long bar faded out but for our heavy ass trucks i would be interested.

I'm interested pending final cost... please put me on the list.
Price would be 495, no pics yet just trying to find out if enough people are interested in them to make them

Great post! That picture is very helpful.

Carl I didn't ask about the frame stiffening, I'm sure they'd make it if enough people wanted them

So would long bars be better? or a 4 link?
4 link is better, but also a lot more money

Im sure that to do a proper 4-link you would be in the $10K range.
