Traction Bars Identification/Mounting Help
I just bought the cheap Lakewood bars from Summit, cut about half the rubber bump stop length off and finally cut and weld the rear bracket so they fit properly. The rubber snubber needs to be almost directly under and almost touching the front spring eye.
They do stiffen the spring rate a bit, but they sure enhance the traction significantly and stop the front spring segment from wrapping. None of the ones I have seen fit Mopars properly without some modifications.
I run them on my A & E body. Never had as much traction and a smooth, compliant ride with any other device/set-up.
