Traction Bar Mounting
I am building a set of traction bars, and my first thought was to get longer U-Bolts and make a plate to bolt on the bottom there. Seems like a good idea, but I dont have the time now.
What is everyones thoughts on welding the tabs right to the axle tub? |
Theres nothing wrong with welding them right on, just alternate your welds so not to heat the axle too much in one spot. here is a build thread for a set on a 3rd Gen.

Thats a nice write up....
I was just looking at my truck, I dont think I got room there to weld the tabs on. Where have some you guys welded them on the Dana 80? |
Hey guys I got the bars finished finially, just have to mount them tomorrow. Just one more question, when I go to mount them should I have them at the short position so I can extend them when loaded?
My hiem joints only have about 2-2.5" of thread and my jam nuts are about 3/4" thick. If I go in the middle I woulnt have too much adjestment left. Ideas? |
I welded my tabs to the bottom of the plate on the axle. You know, where the u-bolts go through on the bottom.

I was thinking that at first too, but I ended up making some clips for them to bolt on.
