Got my Rancho Traction Bar System Installed

1BADHD · June 11, 2003

I bought these knowing they werent for my truck. So I had to make my own rear brackets. And do a little frame modifying in one spot.I got some ideas from rkik. Thanks man! Anyway, here they are. It was one of my best mods yet. Rides great. Almost took away my vibration totally. I guess I have to go to 5 degree shims to take care of it. Here is a couple pics of the rear brackets and the bars installed. Tell me what you think.

Where I had to grind down a weld on the frame, for the front bracket to fit flush.

Bars installed.

Homemade rear brackets.

Man that looks fabulous! How long did it take to install? How much did it run? I want some of the Rancho traction bars, but have not done the research into the when/where/cost etc...

Regardless, that looks great!

I snagged them off Ebay. They were cheap. So that is why I decided for the price, I could make some brackets to fit my truck. To make the brackets, paint, grnd and install. Took about 2 hours total. Very easy job.
