Pro Comp Traction Bars

[97strokerHD]

Anyone have any pictures of how they mounted the pro comp traction bars? More specifically the axle side. Would like to know the mounts look or any bolt on Mount for that matter. Thanks for the help guys.

i dont have pics but it is a plate that goes between the rear block and spring perch.

Does the plate give plenty of room for the bar to move as the suspension articulates? Asking because I am going to redo my rear suspension to eliminate using blocks altogether so I need to make sure that the bar and the leaf spring don't bind.

pro comp bars suck. get with Trevor @ PMF his handle is NotStock on here. comparable pricing, correct geometry and much better quality.

I can't speak for the pro comps but Trevor is top notch his quality is second to none! I have a set of his bars and wouldn't trade them for any others out there. Articulation is not a problem either.

Talked to him before about the bolt on block mount. Does he have a bolt on Mount that doesn't require a block? I was asking about the pro comp bars because I saw they had bolt on mounts. That ua bars would be way to short for my eclb on 37s.

my PMF bars don't have a block.



on edit-just realized we are talking about an OBS. sorry.

OUO weld ons are super clean and adjustable per lift height if you change down the road too. 695 + freight is hard to argue with.

i second the one up stuff. work great on my obs with 40s. have the front mount right in the middle of the rear door. great quality product

With pmf bars you can do the u-bolt flip kit like on 11+ trucks. This allows a traction bar mount to be bolted on with no block and no welding

I emailed them today and they have a bolt on Mount that goes betwwen the spring pad on the axle and the spring. Will probably use that one. Looks really nice.

X3 on one up. Awesome costumer service too.

Sky's new traction bars for the obs look pretty good for the money. If money doesn't matter def go with pmf!

I used the traction bar kit from ruffstuff, I get no axle wrap at all, ever and it still allows the rear axle to articulate without binding up like long bars do. Long bars effect ride quality also.

 

[97stoker350]

How long till it affects the ride quality. My truck rides BETTER and they are the better part of 7 feet long?

 

[Honeydew_OBS]

You're right, I mixed up caltracs with long bars. Long bars don't change the spring rate like caltracs do

I have this style. My truck was actually the 1st OBS to get them. QUALITY

I loved my PMF bars very quality, only complaint was the power coating on the axle mount sucked, I'm sure they would of tookcare of me if I would have told them I just rattle canned it and called it good, it does however look like they use a different powder coat now

Mine I had special made in a satin black to match my frame paint
