Message: [QUOTE="sootie, post: 706279, member: 8162"] [b]Traction bars[/b] i installed the fabtech floating traction bars along with a 5.5" rear block. the first challenge was seized heim joints because the bars weren't brand new. That involved heating each end cherry red in order to get the rod ends out then a treatment with the wire wheel and copper never-seize. i had to remove the steel shield that protects the front of the fuel tank otherwise i could have never drilled the frame for the front mounts. i hope that's not a problem. The other issue i had was installing the pinion angle shims. They are to go underneath the spring pack so i tried to split the springs to no avail.... I ended up just drilling the hole bigger in the shim and slipping it under the block. thankfully the pin still had enough sticking out to grab the spring perch. here are some pics of the bars and blocks installed........... I'm looking for comments on the last one-the front of the spring hits the traction bar under certain circumstances. is there an issue with flipping the bars upside down to allow more clearance??? or did i do something wrong?
