Traction bar? Anti-wrap bar? Off on the right side of the picture you can't see that It bolts to a set of tabs (Or whatever) on the top and bottom of the axle.

yeh, that looks like a bolt in, if not thats one hell of a fab job, but if it is a bolt in looks like all ya gotta do is weld to the tranny crossmember and the axle housing

For F250s and such do. It's a simple build. Run one bar from the bottom of the axle to a 'double' pivoted point somewhere on a cross member of sorts between the front leaf spring hangers. Then half way down the first bar to the top of the axle. Viola!

I thought you did fab work for a living. That stuff looks nice but not exactly a 'hell of a fab job'. Simple stuff. But ok.

haha, so i can see, i think this is a must, i have those revolver shackles and they are seeming to make the axle wrap a lil more than i'd like.

those are some funny looking welds for "guy who can fab"
If you have the revolvers I would just get rid of those in favor of a good shackle instead. less work than building a traction bar.

Funny, I didn't know welds had to be "pretty" to hold up. This guy wheels harder than anyone I know and never breaks a weld. He does all of his work with a Lincoln 135, its hard to make those welds "pretty" but they will hold.
