We quit sponsoring other folks' trucks a few years back - even turned down one of Banks' rides last winter... still give deals to those who ask, though.

some great bars that actually act as part of the suspension |
according to Calvert website i dont see any full size truck products ,

|
all you have to do is call them they make them for our full size trucks :tu: if you look in the dodge gallery there are at least 2 cummins powered rigs with them

Attachment 46683 Attachment 46684 made the brackets big so i could tie in some extended radius arms in the future. |
Young's modulus on those could be a problem.
|

man those are sweet looks like a simple strong design

Okay, don't tear me up too bad..but I gotta ask, what are traction bars for and what do they do?
(remember this is coming from a 17 year old who doesn't own a diesel...yet. At the moment I have a 99 ram 1500) :argh: |
If i had to guess they would limit axle wrap under load (hard acceleration) but maybe someone that actually knows what they are talking about will chime in instead of going off of my guess.
|
Correct, they limit how much an axle can rotate. Im more of a fan of a single center bar mounted with a shackle. Way more flex than single bars that have 2 mounting points.
