They are a traction bar, but a more effective traction bar. Bolting directly to the U-bolts instead of before/after the housing gives way more action. Also, they came with a clamp instead of a rubber bumper. Best of all, 29 bucks for a set! The ultimate if you needed shock mounts going from 7.25 to 8.25/8.75/Dana. To bad they don't make them anymore.
