    :clap: :clap: thanks to m.a.v. i now have a set of traction bars. they made a big diff. in the take off. they should be called no traction bars. keeping the rear end level on hard take off puts more power to the wheels. my snub was hitting my snub stopper.
    i will take some pics. later and post them...frank...:bananaman :bananaman L.T.N.G.

    Thanks Paint... I did some research from what you posted and I might have to do the e bay one. I called O reiley since the Lakewood site shows them as a retailer. They said I can only get the bar and it's $35 each... I will keep looking for a bit.
    New bar bracket bolts would be nice too, glad you sent the info. :cool:

    Cause they look cool... I have had them for years and years. They were rusty chrome and I had them blasted and powder coated, they look new again.
