Anybody have any plans to build up your own track bars?? I have an 02 2500HD with a fabtech 8" and would really like to fab up some bars.

I really dont know?? Open to anything. Want to build a nice pair of ladder bars but dont know lengths or anything so the axle still has full movement with no binding. I dont know anyone that has a truck with some on it so i can just steal the measurements.

I'll sell you a used set that are 55" long for $150 + shipping. A company on ebay was selling them, but I don't see them anymore. You can barely see them on my truck in the pics in my garage.

Chech these out! Just ordered a pair. Adjustible 81-91" 2.875" tubing and 1" hiems. PM for info they are not a vendor on diesel place.

Curtis, those look pretty stout...how do they mount up? Does it include brackets?

Yup they come with brackets bolt-on or weld on. I just came across these a couple days ago. Had a long talk with the owner about them and ended up ordering a set. Should have them in a week or so... I'll pm you the link to the site since they are not a vendor here.

I got the link, thank you.

However they pimp alot of dodge stuff, I would rather give my money to a sled team that uses DMAX motors haha

No doubt Curtis, good buy/find! Let us all know once you install them.

Last time traction bars were being discussed here we got around to 4 link system being the way to go cause of the way the axle traveled in an elipticle motion. However, no final schematics or product was produced...:rolleyes:
