Looking for some better pictures. The ones on the site hardly show any difference between the different model bars. I was hoping someone else had more pictures.

Mark is one of our very first customers on DTR

I know that Lary is featuring our products in the DTR store, for the convenience of the site's members.

We do what we can for all of our folks with military service!

I've been testing the site with other systems, and the photos aren't so great on older, smaller CRTs... the big LCD in the office makes the parts look clear enough to touch.

I'll get a better photo up on the site today for the traction bars.

Any of our traction bars will prevent spring wrap in the leaf packs - thus transferring all available torque to the tires, while limiting body lean around corners and controlling rear suspension movement over irregular road surfaces.

Most people choose a particular model based on their appearance; for instance, if you had a lifted truck with big tires - the Monster Bars would look good, but if you were trying for a "sleeper" look on a 2WD truck - the Street Sleepers would be better.

Our most popular model is the Lazar Bars (& Lazar lls), since they combine the beefiness of Sled Bars with the Drag Bars' length.

For your application, Drag Bars would be fine.
