traction bars , stealthiest looking

[flyingfool]

I've been wantingto try a set of traction bars lately, mostly city and mountain road driving, but i find my back wheels spin alot and skip on the road while accelerating hard. 

any positive recommended brands ?  speed engineering or any others?

truck is stock height,   i dont care for slappers, , and some bar designs look odd under the truck, whats a good design that won't  be a giveaway that there is a set of traction bars?

I made a set for my last truck 1.75" DOM, stainless heims with high misalignment spacers. Rear mount utilized the the stock ubolts (there was enough extra thread not being used). Front mount could either be welded on the frame, or bolted if you drilled one 1/2" hole. Been thinking about trying to design a set for this truck but wouldnt mind grabbing something off the shelf if it meets my expectations lol.

yeah thats cool, but its visible, i want an over the top axle bar if possible.. identical to TuffDuff.com bars for the ford ranger over top axle wont get caught in the bushes either

Best bars are assassin bars second are caltrac. The caltrac are 1/2" better clearance but not as good as the assassin bars. I painted mine neutral flat black and truck is lowered so hard to see but can be seen.

You wont make or find a set that you can't see at all. Won't happen. I would try VAS, Victor Almazan.

I had zero issues getting hung up on anything, they rear diff was quite a bit lower than the bars. That truck also did plenty of offroading at the sand dunes, cresting peaked hills. I do understand if youre worried about looks though.

I got RC traction bars. Great quality for the price and work as advertised. I’m lifted though and not trying to hide anything.

Interesting....

Anybody have any experience with these? They do claim to eliminate axle wrap

There’s a few guys on here with em

X2 for the Rough Country Traction Bars. 

-Decreased axle wrap significantly

-Very noticeable increase in traction, especially during launch.

-Wheel hop eliminated.

-Frame attachment and link to axle kind of functions as a sway bar, body roll decreased.

-Black powder coating has been very durable.

 

Quick and easy install, designed to fit with lift. I don’t remember exactly, but I believe I got them on sale for $250 delivered.
