Thread: Can wheelie bars be attached to the frame AND axle?

Tweet

They should be mounted to the rear end housing to work correctly... The rear end and the frame move on different roll centers and axis'. I would say not a good plan to mount to a sprung and an unsprung attachment point.

Weld on type to the housing is the best bet IMHO and what I use.

I agree 100% with Dave. Attach all 4 points to the rear end. back in the 70's & early 80's there were a few bars mounted to the body (frame) only but they were not as effective as rear end mounted bars. I've never seen bars mounted to the body & rear end. Every time the suspension moves the hieght of the bars would change. I don't see how they would be effective. Might even be dangerous. Mine mount to the four link on the bottom outside the shocks & because of chassis clearance issues the top bars mount to the top of the rear end "between" the shocks.
