    Pick Up Truck Traction Bars ?

     



    Hi guys, it's good to have the old forum back.

    Well, my 76 Dodge truck project is moving forward but I'm still in the parts collecting stage. One of the things I'm trying to figure out is what I'm going to do for traction bars. Spring wrap up is a big problem with these trucks with any kind of horse power.

    The truck is going to be street driven and actually used as a truck on occasion. I will be using 15" rims and want the bars to be as inconspicuous as possible and above the wheel scrub line. Ladder bars are out. All I've been able to come across so far to either build or buy are the old slapper bars or Cal Trac/Traction master type bars.

    Are there any other alternatives out there????
    I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
