I've read every post I can find on traction bars.. here's my Idea, now tell me why it wont work and what I should change..
My rear 44 is trussed w/ a TNT truss. This left me with a nice flat area to work with on top of the differential. My plan is to weld two tabs on top of the truss for the axle end of my traction bar mount.
I plan to make the bar out of either (1) 2" 250 wall DOM or (2) 1.75" 120 wall DOM. I plan on tube inserts on each end and a heim on each end.
For my upper mount I'm still working on where to mount it but it's looking like some form of a custom cross member just back of the transfer case output.
Basically: Front/Rear fixed mounts with heims...
Why wont this work? The placement will be right next to the rear driveshaft unless I can figure out a way to mount it about the driveshaft..
Would the bind be too much during droop? Is the upper shackle mount necessary? Single bar bad? Help me I would prefer to only do this one.
