The tubing used is 1.5" OD w/ a 1/2 thick wall... Thanks to Jon and his dad at Floor It they turned out AWESOME!

 

could you PM me a price for those bars? looks good!

 

A half-inch I.D.?

That's not tubing - it's a rifle barrel!

 

Guys,

I know it's not required, but what's the benefit of having a heim joint on the axle end of the ladder bars, when there's a heim joint on the frame mount end of them?

 

XLR8R-
I am guessing adjustability, but I am not sure. I am also new to the whole 'ladder bar' situation.

 

Concurred. I've got the locking nut on one end and spin the shaft to tighten them up, then lock them in place.

 

XLR8R,
Both heims do not have the same thread pitch.
One is a rh the other is lh so you can tension the bar up.
2 heims will also allow the axle to articulate correctly and keep the driveline angle in check.

 

here is the link off of GetBlown5.9 for WFO traction bars.

Ill think ill get some, heck i dont even need them but they are tough looking!!!!

 

ill get some pics soon of them on the truck painted black. i like them. they work good. i can do some mean 3rd gear launches on the street!

 

GetBlown5.9's pictures of his WFO bars look like the joints are welded to the bar ends.

 

mine are welded, not adjustable but i believe justin makes them either way.

PS- guys do not start asking for prices etc in here and get this shut down, he doesnt advertise here and i wont advertise for him other than simply stating he is the one that built them for me (i give credit where its due)

i hope the admin/mods here can respect that i give him credit without advertising. i want to make sure it stays on topic before it can get out of hand

 

Yeah, the heims on mine make them adjustable w/o having to remove any bolts... You can load them tight or loose, I don't recommend street driving w/ them tight, though...If you like the top of your head...

 

I custom built my traction bars I use 2" DOM with a 3/8" wall thickness 1" heim on both ends for easy adjusting they work great plus i got them powdercoated (buddy owns a powder coating shop) The reason we use 2" it cuts down on wall thickness and i like the bigger look of the bars...I will get some pics up ASAP.

That is what I used on mine also.
