See my second pic above! Entire 'kit' is bolt on. In the rear the heim bracket goes under the axle U-Bolt nuts.
On the front, the L shaped bracket bolts to the side & bottom of the frame.

Then you'll be able to get all of Big Blue's ponies onto the rollers... probably forget all about your VP44!

Not yet Daniel - though I'm sure they'd work even better on a 2WD, since they aren't sprung as heavily from the factory.
There's no difference in the frame or axle mounting points between 2WD & 4WD.
For those that don't have a rear sway bar already, these traction bars could save you the money of buying one!

Would these bars bind the suspension under heavy towing? I would love to get rid of the axle wrap I have but I don,t want to bind the suspension when towing or hauling heavy loads. Sorry if that is a dumb question, maybe I just missed something. I would also like a pm about the pricing for both sets of bars please.

with the length of the bars they really move very little forward or aft with suspension movement... I'm sure XLR8R will comment as he has done the math on susension travel in these trucks... I've towed about 10k with them and had no problems at all, I will be towing around 18k on Friday and will post back with the results.
