They're much much longer than what the pics look like. About 76" from hole to hole. 79" overall. For back yard fab the holes MIGHT be 1/16th off. Got finished with the uppers tonight. Going to make the axle truss's tomorrow and fab my frame mounts so they're ready to weld on. Hoping to get the traction bars 100% installed tomorrow and start on my driveshaft.

Hate to burst your buble but you might have wanted to make them adjustable so you can add or remove preload to help your truck hook.

They WILL work better than not having any so run em for now and see how they work!

Yeah, thought about it. I was looking for a large threaded heim but with no luck other than buying online and worrying about if it'll be delivered in time for the pulls I decided to make them "fixed" but later on down the road I can turn the fixed trac bar into an adjustable one. Might be able to make it adjustable from the get go, just gonna take a little more fab time.

The other picture I had of the whole trac bar on the truck was blurry, not useable.

TY, gives me a little practice making 4 link. Been wanting to do a 4 link an I'm thinking about doing a 4 link airbag system on my jeep build. Atleast on the front and maybe just a nice set of coils in the rear. That's still a few year out of the mix.
